Every boy running and the little girl |
|
At the money took up in their hand |
|
Over the wall and down into the street |
|
Give your money to the hollerin' man |
|
Give your money to the hollerin' man |
|
Every boy runs for Hokey Pokey |
|
Hear him ringing on the ice-cream bell |
|
He's got the stuff that'll cool you right down |
|
It's the best that they ever did sell |

|
Girl on the corner with the tight dress on |
|
You know she don't know nothing so fine |
|
Feels so good when you put it in your mouth |
|
Sends a shiver all down your spine |
|
Sends a shiver all down your spine |

"Cat got your tongue?" says Frankie to Annie |
|
"Girl, you haven't said a word all night" |
|
Well, Annie she smiled and she took another bite |
|
Hokey Pokey made her feel alright, alright |
|
Hokey Pokey made her feel alright |
|
Well, some like it round and some like it flat |
|
And some like a poke or two |
|
But everybody runs for Hokey Pokey |
|
It's the natural thing to do |
|
It's the natural thing to do |

Down in the prison, number nine lying down |
|
Been working like a bee in a hive |
|
He's still dreaming of Hokey Pokey |
|
Helps to keep that boy alive |
|
Helps to keep that boy alive |
|
Watchman he says to choirboy Rocky |
|
"Don't you sing to the boys in blue? |
|
Oh, you won't get no more Hokey Pokey |
|
By the time we're through with you |
|
By the time we're through with you" |
|
Fellows in the alley all look like girls |
|
With their lipstick and their high-heeled shoes |
|
Feel so pretty and the boys all say |
|
That they know just what to do |
|
