Slang From the Twenties
In the 1920’s a hundred years ago
There was so much slang, it danced to and fro.
The cat’s pajamas meant a marvelous thing
Something terrific, an idea that could swing.
Whoever created it is probably gone away now.
But it meant something exciting, great. Don’t have a cow.
Another 1920’s lingo that meant, don’t lose it please.
Many of these sayings are long gone in a breeze.
