Biografía:
"Chubby" Checker (1941), llamado chubby por su generosidad de carnes, es el rey del twist. Llevó al éxito masivo la composición de Hank Ballard "the twist" en 1960.
El baile que llevaba incorporado fue un auténtico fenómeno de masas, del que ninguna capa social se libró. Al año siguiente repetiría éxito con su "let´s twist again".
Si bien lo intentó repetir con otros bailes como el limbo o el hunckleback su estrella se apagaría pronto.

E A
Mary Mac, Mac, Mac.
All dressed in black, black, black.
E
Don'tcha know I’m tryin’, tryin’, tryin’,
A
Just to come on back, back, back.
Cause I took a plane, plane, plane,
But there was some rain, rain, rain.
E
And there was no flyin’, flyin’, flyin’,
A
So I took a train, train, train.
A
Oh, Mary Mac, Mac, Mac.
It went off the track, track, track,
E
Can’t you see I’m dyin’, dyin’, dyin’,
A
Just to come on back, back, back.
CHORUS:
#2.
A
Well, I took a boat, boat, boat,
But it wouldn’t float, float, float.
E
So I kept on a puffin’, puffin’, puffin’,
A
That was all she wrote, wrote, wrote.
So, I must wear my cross, cross, cross.
And I bought a horse, horse, horse,
E
But it just keeps runnin’, runnin’, runnin’,
A
All around the track, track, track.
Baby I ain’t lyin’, lyin’, lyin’.
Can’t you see that I’m tryin’, tryin’, tryin’,
E
Don’tcha know I’m tryin’, tryin’, tryin’, just to
A
come on back to Mary Mac.
CHORUS:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
