'Tain't no sin to take off your skin (and dance around in your bones)

I used to play this song as a 78rpm record on a wind-up clockwork gramophone. This is the original family copy, Imperial no 2226, as played by Vincent Lopez and His Orchestra, backed with "Happy Days are here Again" (recorded January 1930). YouTube version. Here too is the Vincent Lopez version of "'Tain't no sin" (YouTube).

What better tune to re-animate these poor fellows as seen at Dorset County Museum?

From the song lyrics:

"When it gets too hot for comfort, and you can't get ice cream cones,
Oh, 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,
It ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around in your bones!

Just be like those bamboo babies, in the South Sea tropic zones:
For it ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around in your bones!"

Lee Morse version
