Long before the Cha-Cha Slide, this song caught fire after being featured in the 1913 Ziegfield Follies, and became the nation's first 'dance craze'. This arrangement is designed as a novelty number, and cycles through many different genres of music to keep the short chorus fresh and fun throughout. Take advantage of the opportunities this chart presents to really get creative with props, staging, and special effects! The first minute features a bass/treble duet singing a short transition piece as the rest of the choir sets the stage or changes costume.

**Sync, streaming performance, and master licenses are ALL included with the purchase of this arrangement.**

Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor Sax

Ladies and gentlemen, eyes over here
Pay no attention to them
While our crew is changing the set
We'll keep you entertained with a little duet

What do you think of the show so far?
The novelty number's up next
There's lots of props to set into place
For a fun routine that will light up your face
Everything's ready, so let's move along
Hope you all enjoy this song

First you put your two knees close up tight
Then you sway 'em to the left
Then you sway 'em to the right.
Step around the floor kind of nice and light
Then you twist around and twist around with all of your might

Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space
Then you do the eagle rock with style and grace
Swing your foot way round and bring it back
Now that's what I call ballin' the jack!
