Hokey Pokey
Lyrics
|
Written By: Roland Lawrence LaPrise,
concocted the song along with two fellow musicians in the late
1940s for the ski crowd in Sun Valley, Idaho. The group, the
Ram Trio, recorded the song in 1949. In 1953, bandleader Ray
Anthony bought the rights and recorded The Hokey Pokey on the
B-side of another novelty record, The Bunny Hop. After the Ram
Trio disbanded in the 1960s, country star Roy Acuff's
publishing company bought the rights to The Hokey Pokey.

You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot
out;
You put your right foot in,
And you shake it all
about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself
around.
That's what it's all about!
You put your
left foot in,
You put your left foot out;
You put your
left foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the
Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what
it's all about!
You put your right hand in,
You put
your right hand out;
You put your right hand in,
And you
shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn
yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
You put
your left hand in,
You put your left hand out;
You put
your left hand in,
And you shake it all about.
You do
the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's
what it's all about!
You put your right side in,
You
put your right side out;
You put your right side in,
And
you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you
turn yourself around.
That's what it's all
about!
You put your left side in,
You put your left
side out;
You put your left side in,
And you shake it
all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself
around.
That's what it's all about!
You put your
nose in,
You put your nose out;
You put your nose
in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the
Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what
it's all about!
You put your backside in,
You put
your backside out;
You put your backside in,
And you
shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn
yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
You put
your head in,
You put your head out;
You put your head
in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the
Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what
it's all about!
You put your whole self in,
You put
your whole self out;
You put your whole self in,
And you
shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn
yourself around.
That's what it's all about |
