There was a cat from Brooklyn, by the name of RomeoHabía un gato de Brooklyn, llamado Romeo
His folks they came from Italy, many years agoSus padres vinieron de Italia, hace muchos años
One night he met young Geraldine, a dame from outta townUna noche conoció al joven Geraldine, una dama de fuera de la ciudad
When Geraldine was dancing she would bring the ballroom downCuando Geraldine bailaba, bajaba el salón de baile
Wave those paws in the airAgita esas patas en el aire
Spin around like Fred AstaireDa vueltas como Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jiveDame cinco y podremos bailar
That's Geraldines routineEsa es la rutina de Geraldines
Lift those puppies off the groundLevanta a esos cachorros del suelo
Swing those hips, and shake them downSacude esas caderas, y sacuden hacia abajo
It's rag it's razz its snazzy jazzEs trapo es razz su elegante jazz
It's Geraldines routineEs la rutina de Geraldines
Wave those paws in the airAgita esas patas en el aire
Spin around like Fred AstaireDa vueltas como Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jiveDame cinco y podremos bailar
That's Geraldines routineEsa es la rutina de Geraldines
Lift those puppies off the groundLevanta a esos cachorros del suelo
Swing those hips, and shake them downSacude esas caderas, y sacuden hacia abajo
Let's hump let's jump let's thumpety-bumpVamos jorobar saltemos, vamos a chocar
It's Geraldines routineEs la rutina de Geraldines
Her mama was a stripper, so was GeraldineSu madre era stripper, también Geraldine
She learned to strip at Mardi Gras, way down in New OrleansAprendió a desnudarse en Mardi Gras, muy abajo en Nueva Orleans
Romeo was whacky, he was dizzy for this dameRomeo estaba loco, estaba mareado por esta dama
He learned a dance and got the chance to be Geraldines new flameAprendió un baile y tuvo la oportunidad de ser Geraldines nueva llama
Wave those paws in the airAgita esas patas en el aire
Spin around like Fred AstaireDa vueltas como Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jiveDame cinco y podremos bailar
That's Geraldines routineEsa es la rutina de Geraldines
Lift those puppies off the groundLevanta a esos cachorros del suelo
Swing those hips, and shake them downSacude esas caderas, y sacuden hacia abajo
It's rag its razz its snazzy jazzEs trapo su razz su elegante jazz
It's Geraldines routineEs la rutina de Geraldines
Wave those paws in the airAgita esas patas en el aire
Spin around like Fred AstaireDa vueltas como Fred Astaire
Slip me five and we can jiveDame cinco y podremos bailar
That's Geraldines routineEsa es la rutina de Geraldines
Lift those puppies off the groundLevanta a esos cachorros del suelo
