Mythology & Folklore
Juba dis, an' Juba dat,
Juba skin dat Yaller Cat. Juba! Juba!
Juba jump an' Juba sing.
Juba, cut dat Pigeon's Wing. Juba! Juba!
Juba, kick off Juba's shoe.
Juba, dance dat Jubal Jew. Juba! Juba!
Juba, whirl dat foot about.
Juba, blow dat candle out. Juba! Juba!
Juba circle, Raise de Latch.
Juba do dat Long Dog Scratch. Juba! Juba!
