Ottilie Patterson with Chris Barber's Jazz Band. 'Taint No Sin (to take off your skin and dance around in your bones) recorded 9th July 1956. With lyrics.
LYRICS: Dancing may do this and that and help you take off lots of fat, but I'm no friend of dancing when it's hot. So if you are a dancing fool who loves to dance but can't keep cool, bear in mind the idea that I've got. When it gets too hot for comfort and you can't get ice cream cones, well, it ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones. When the lazy syncopation of the music softly moans, well, it ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones. Polar bears aren't green up in Greenland, they've got the right idea, they think it's great to refrigerate while we all cremate down here. Just be like those bamboo babies in the South Sea tropic zones, 'cause it ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.
When you're calling up your sweetie in those hothouse telephones well it ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones. When you're on a crowded dance floor near Barber's hot trombone, well it ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones. Take a look at the chicks when they're dancing, Notice the way they're dressed, they wear silken clothes without any hose and nobody knows the rest. If a girl wears x-ray dresses, shows everything she owns, well it ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones, I said, dance around in your bones.
