In the spotlight

Well Donna and I both have had our moment of glory as we got to be in the spotlight for a little bit in our grade school years.  She with girls that were called  "SIX SLICK CHICKS." They did a song called "The Tennessee Wigwalk"

THE TENNESSEE WIGWALK
Bonnie Lou


I'm a bow-legged chicken, I'm a knock-kneed hen
Never been so happy since I don't know when
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk.

To a tune on a fiddle on a hardwood floor
Tho' I'm broke and I'm weary and my back is sore
I walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk.

Put your toes together, your knees apart
Bend your back, get ready to start
Flap your elbows, just for luck
Then you wiggle and you waddle like a baby duck.

 Dance with me honey, tap your toes and glide
And we'll always be together side by side
Walk with a wiggle and a giggle and a squawk
Doin' the Tennessee Wigwalk.

My group sung "SINGING IN THE RAIN"   plus little dance steps to go with it.  I remember for us we all had umbrellas and our blouse and skirt matched and we each wore a different color and same with umbrellas. I think one of the mothers of the girls made our outfits and yes they they were made just for this song!  Mine if remember right was Pink and others were yellow, blue , and purple. Each made exactly alike only different colors.  I felt so pretty!

Lyrics to song we sung: color on notes were colors of our outfit!

I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
And I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark, up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love.

                                                     

Come on with the rain
I have a smile on my face.
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin', singin' in the rain.  

 Think the movie "Singing In The Rain was out with Debbie Reynolds and Gene Kelly at that time.
