Hokey Pokey Lyrics - Singles - Richard & Linda Thompson

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 

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 

That they know just what to do
