Lyrics

Tillie Brown was a dancing fool Spent her time in a dancing school When the band would play Tillie would start right in to sway First one out on the ballroom floor She never got enough, she just craved for more When she start to sway All the girls and boys would say Whoa, Tillie, take your time Whoa, Tillie, take your time There ain't no use to hurrying 'cause you wanna prance You've got all night to do that dance Whoa, Tillie, lay 'em down Whoa, Tillie Brown You don't know what to shake When you shake What to break Whoa, Tillie, take your time Whoa, Tillie, take your time Whoa, Tillie, take your time There ain't no use to hurrying 'cause you wanna prance Look out there, Tillie, you got all night to do that dance Whoa, Tillie, lay 'em down Whoa, Tillie, Tillie Brown You don't know what to shake When you shake What to break Whoa, Tillie, take your time
