Plantation Rock
Groove Through History: Exploring the Plantation Rock Legacy
Lyrics
Now come along with me
Invitation to join and experience something together
We'll do the plantation rock
Referring to a dance called "plantation rock"
It's easy as can be
Emphasizing the simplicity of the dance
You'll wanna dance round the clock
Expressing the desire to dance continuously
Well it became a sensation
Describing the dance as a popular and well-received trend
Rockin' on the plantation
Actively participating in the dance on the plantation
Dancin' in the fields down to each dock
Dancing in various locations, including fields and docks
Now do the plantation rock
Instructing to perform the "plantation rock" dance
So come on bend your knees
Encouraging to bend the knees as part of the dance
Twist with ease side to side
Advising to twist with ease from side to side
Like the swaying trees keep in rhythm
Comparing the dance to the swaying of trees and emphasizing rhythm
Now have some pep double step
Encouraging energetic and lively movements
Shake right there like a rockin' chair
Encouraging shaking movements resembling a rocking chair
And stay with them
Instructing to stay in sync with the rhythm
Well now you're right at home
Feeling comfortable and familiar while doing the dance
Doin' the plantation rock
Reiterating the act of performing the "plantation rock" dance
Just do it as you were shown
Emphasizing the importance of following the demonstrated steps
You'll wanna dance round the clock
Expressing the desire to dance continuously (repeated theme)
Well just like on the plantation
Comparing the widespread adoption of the dance to plantation life
Folks all over the nation
Noting that people nationwide have embraced the dance
Started rockin' on each street and block
Highlighting the ubiquity of the dance in various locations
Gonna do the plantation rock
Committing to continue the "plantation rock" dance
Do the plantation rock
Repeating the call to perform the "plantation rock" dance
Do the plantation rock
-Do the plantation rock
