About

This is a parody of the traditional song “Pick a Bale of Cotton”, originally referring to slaves picking cotton on plantations in the south. Here instead we have some ladies (presumably Jewish ladies since that’s Allan Sherman’s schtick on this album) doing some bargain shopping picking out knock-o...

Jump Down, Spin Around (Pick A Dress O’ Cotton) Lyrics

Gotta jump down, spin around
And pick a dress of cotton
Gotta jump down, spin around
And pick a dress of wool

Gotta jump down, spin around
And pick a dress of cotton
Gotta jump down, spin around
Pick a dress of wool

Jump down, spin around
And pick a dress of cotton
Gotta Jump down, spin around
And pick a dress of wool

Gotta jump down, spin around
And pick a dress of cotton
Gotta jump down, spin around
Pick a dress of wool

Grab those bargains off those racks
Who needs Bergdorf, who needs Saks

Gotta jump down, spin around
Save a dollar-eighty
Gotta jump down, spin around
Save a lotta dough

Gotta get yourself a bargain
Gotta jump down, spin around
Save a dollar-eighty
Gotta jump down, spin around
Save a lotta dough

Here's what I've been searching for
A genuine copy of a fake Dior

Gotta jump down -
Take it off a rack
Gotta jump down, spin around
Try it on your back

Gotta jump down -
Take it off a rack
Gotta jump down, spin around
Try it on your back

Gotta take it off a rack-
Gotta spin around, spin around
Jump down-

Gotta jump down, spin around
Take it off a rack
Gotta jump down, spin around
Try it on your back

Here's a size 8 I could fix
Gotta let it out to 46

-Repeat first chorus 2x-

Little Shirley jumped down!
Took one off a hanger
Little Rose jumped down!
Grabbed it away

Little Shirley jumped down
Little Rose jumped down
Gotta take it off a hanger
Gotta jump down
Take it off a hanger
Gotta jump down
Grab it right away
Gotta jump down-
Spin around-
Take it off a hanger
Gotta jump down, spin around
Grab it right away

See how this one looks on me
Just like Jackie Kennedy
It does?

-Repeat first chorus 2x-

Oh pick a dress of cotton
Oh pick a dress of wool
Oh what a sale of clothes
Oh that's the way it goes
Oh jump down, spin around, spin around, spin around
Spin around, spin around, spin around

-Repeat first chorus 2x-
