The Lyrics
I'm Archie Bell from Hou-
ston. . .dance so fine.
Let's hit the floor, shuffle our shoes,
Up we're tightened,
Yeah, up we're tightened.
Come on, don't just stand there--
Move your feet around!
We have got a dance where
You dance, we jam, and we all get down!
I've got my Drells for you
And they're all tight--
Just right.
Ain't no Frug,
Boogaloo,
Move your shoes--
You got hooves, like a cow?
Go shake your hair;
The beat's jaunty
Hey, you're movin' now!
But, easy!
We'll make it mellow now
And not too tight.
[fade on sound of feet shuffling]
ston. . .dance so fine.
Let's hit the floor, shuffle our shoes,
Up we're tightened,
Yeah, up we're tightened.
Come on, don't just stand there--
Move your feet around!
We have got a dance where
You dance, we jam, and we all get down!
I've got my Drells for you
And they're all tight--
Just right.
Ain't no Frug,
Boogaloo,
Move your shoes--
You got hooves, like a cow?
Go shake your hair;
The beat's jaunty
Hey, you're movin' now!
But, easy!
We'll make it mellow now
And not too tight.
[fade on sound of feet shuffling]
