Johnson Flood Mississippi 
Mud Black Bottom I got 'em
Lindy Hop Chop chop chop 
Ch-ch-ch Charlotte Russe Turn on the juice
 
Hep Hep there goes the Johnson Rag 
Hoy Hoy there goes the latest shag 
Ho Ho it really isn't a gag
Hep Hep there goes the Johnson Rag
Jump Jump don't let your left foot drag
Jeep Jeep it's like a game of tag
Juke Juke it's even good for a stag    
Jump jump and do the Johnson Rag
 
If your feelin' in the groove 
It sends you out of the world
Funny how it makes you move
I don't wanna coax
But don't be a "Mokes"
Zig Zig Then add a Zig Zig Zag 
Zoop Zoop just let your shoulders wag
Zoom Zoom and now it's right in the bag 
Get hep And get happy with the Johnson Rag
 
Hep Hep There goes the Johnson Rag 
Hoy Hoy there goes the latest shag 
Ho Ho it really isn't a gag
Hep Hep There goes the Johnson Rag
Jump Jump Don't let your left foot drag
Jeep Jeep It's like a game of tag
Juke Juke It's even good for a stag    
Jump jump And do the Johnson Rag
 
If your feelin' in the groove 
It sends you out of the world
Funny how it makes you move
I don't wanna coax
But don't be a "Mokes"
Zig Zig then add a Zig Zig Zag 
Zoop Zoop just let your shoulders wag
Zoom Zoom and now it's right in the bag
