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
