*Whistling* I knew a man, Bojangles, and hed dance for you in worn out shoes, with silver hair, a ragged shirt, and baggy pants. He would do the old soft shoe. He could jump so high, jump so high, and then hed lightly touch down. I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was, while I was down and out. He looked to me to be the very eyes of age as he spoke right out, talked of life, lord that man talked of life, laughed, slapped his leg and stepped. He said his name was Bojangles and he danced a lick right across the cell. He grabbed his pants, took a bitter stance, jumped up high. Thats when he clicked his heels. Then he let go a laugh, lord, hed let go a laugh, shook back his clothes all around. That was Mr. Bojangles. Mr. Bojangles. Mr. Bojangles. Lord, he could dance. He told me of the times he worked with minstrel shows, travelling around The South. He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and he, they used to travel all about. But his dog up and died, dog up and died, and after twenty years he still greived. He said I dance now and every chance a honkey-tonk, for my drinks and tips. But most of the time I spend behind these country bars, you see son, I drinks a bit. Then he shook his head. Lord, when he shook his head, I could swear I heard someone say please, please, please. Mr. Bojangles. A-Mr. Bojangles. Mr. Bojangles. Come back and dance a dance, please dance, come on and dance now. A-Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance. Come back and dance, Mr. Bojangles. *Whistle* https://youtube/watch?v=NvYmL5KsvYA
