It Gives Me the Jitters

You would need giant shears To cut a rug, And why should anyone need to do it? In their 20s and 30s, they jitterbugged If you had the energy to pursue it The jitterbug was a lively dance That was all the rage, They danced frantically Both entirely engaged In dancing as if there was nothing to it. All seemed to dance on one spot, Not using up much space, They jitterbugged and jitterbugged At a manic pace The poor rug suffered that was on the floor Continuous dancing is the reason that rug wore It acquired dents and slashes As if cut by scissors or a knife Caused by all those young lads and lasses That cut the carpet, causing the rug strife. To cut a rug means to dance, Not just the Jitterbug. I like to dance the waltz, Cos, I get a cuddle and a hug.
