Fine Young Thing

FINE YOUNG THING "Oh, I was...a fine young thing! " "Ya shoulda seen me then! " "Lindyhopping Lindy! " "Dat's wot de's called me! " "God! I was good! " "I was better than good! " "I was to be dug...dig! " I laugh as she jive talks me. "Here...ya don't believe me! " "I'll show ya! " And she proceeds to show me how & wow! Flinging her fragile frame into a crazy crazy dance routine ...bloody hell! God! She nearly gives me a heart attack just watching her. Doesn't look a day over 40(she's a nifty sixty) . She busts a move(never breaks sweat) dances me off my feet(I bust a gut) . Bless her.. little cotton socks. "Well, young fellow...was I lying? " "You...you're(I gasp) "...the bee's knees.. the cat's pyjamas I try to catch my breath (it went that away) I nurse a hernia. "Ah, you young guys these days you just ain't the same! " "Why, me & Jim would dance for hours! " "We was the best jumpin' jivers! " "Shoulda seen us dancing to"Jeeperscreepers! " "Man...we was something else! " Then she goes... makes us both a nice cup of tea with a dash of brandy in it for me ("Thought ya needed it! ") . Spring waltzes in and dances with the curtains. Louis Jordan sings: "There ain't nobody here but us chickens ...there ain't nobody here but us! "
