(the Charleston is actually from the 1920s, btw. :) )

Does anyone know what the song is in the Simpson Christmas Stories (17x09) that Young!Grampa Simpson, Young!Mr Burns and Santa are dancing to when they are repairing Santa's sleigh? It must be something from the 1940's, probably charleston song or similar, because Grampa is doing the knee routine.
I cannot include an extract - I couldn't find it on youtube or anywhere else. Wikipedia is silent (altough I could swear I saw it there once). I've been Googling like crazy, but all that popped up were questions on this exact same thing.
I think it is something very famous. My reaction probably will be "I can't believe I forgot this", or "I never knew this composer wrote it".
Thanks in advance.
