Belly Dance: Jingle Belts

by Shira

Jingle belts, jingle belts, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to do a shimmy every day! Jingle butts, jingle butts, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to do a shimmy every day! Dashing through the snow, Your feet are freezing cold In sandals for your show A boombox you must hold. Your winter coat looks odd O'er costume, what a sight, What fun it is to do a gig on a freezing winter night! Oh! Jingle belts, jingle belts, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to do a shimmy every day! Jingle butts, jingle butts, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to do a shimmy every day! Now the ground is slick With slippery, packed-in snow You'd rather stay at home But gigging you must go! Your tires slip and slide A skid gives you a fright What fun it is to do a gig on a freezing winter night! Oh! Jingle belts, jingle belts, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to do a shimmy every day! Jingle butts, jingle butts, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to do a shimmy every day!   PHOTO CREDIT: Photo by Evelyn M. Elliot, Strawberry Point, Iowa.

The above lyrics were inspired by the Twitter handle of Kathleen Ennis, which is @JingleButt. Every time I saw her post something, it brought to mind the song "Jingle Bells". So thanks, Kathleen, for the inspiration!
