1-2-3

1-2-3

Ow! Uh! Alright! Uh!

Got to know how to pony

Like Bony Maronie

Mash potato, do the alligator

Put your hand on your hips, yeah

Let your backbone slip

Do the Watusi

Like my little Lucy

Hey! Uh!

Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

I need somebody to help me say it one time

(Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na )

Wo--ow!

Saxophone solo

Wow! Uh! You know I feel alright! Huh! I feel pretty good y'all

Uh! Huh!

Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na

Come on y'all, let's say it one more time

(Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na )

Ooow!

Playing, it is a habit

With long tall Sally

Twistin' with Lucy

Doin' the Watusi

Roll over on your back

I like it like that

Do that Jerk-uh

Watch me work y'all

Ow! Do it!

Wow! Do it!

Just watch me do it

Aah help me

Aah help me

Aah help me

Aah help me

Fade
