Slid and then I fall on the floor
The dance steps I just couldn't recall
She didn't even dance the steps right
Baby maybe the song is a little out date
That's right!

The dance stage oh, we're have a try
Of the dance until somebody say
"Forgive me if I dance out of line"
Then she through back her hand
And started shaking around.


CHORUS:
Do the hokey pokey
Do the hokey pokey
Do the hokey pokey
Do the hokey pokey


So never throw your hands in the air
And wave them around like you just don't care
(Sayin') put your hand in and shake it about.
You know the rest of this dance, you know
You turn yourself around!

REPEAT CHORUS

(Baby put you left hand in)
Let me help you out dear
(Baby put your left hand out)
Do it, do it, do it correct
(Baby put your left hand in)
Turn around completely
(Baby shake it all about)
In and out and in and shake it.

What a funky dance
She like it, like it, like it, the dance
The hokey pokey!

REPEAT CHORUS
