Do the hippogriff
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Move your body like a hairy troll
Learn' to rock and roll
Spin around like a crazy elf
Dancin' by himself
Boogie down like a unicorn
Don't stop till the break of dawn
Put your hands up in the air
Like an ogre, just don't care
Can you dance the Hippogriff?
Ma, ma ,ma ,ma, ma,ma,ma
Flyin' off from a cliff
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Swooping down to the ground
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Around, and around, and around, and around
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Go around like a scary ghost
Spookin' himself the most
Shake your booty like a borer in pain
Again, and again, and again
Get it on like an angry specter
Who's definitely out to get ya
Stamp your feet like a leprechaun
Get it on, get it on!
Can you dance the Hippogriff?
Ma, ma ,ma ,ma, ma,ma,ma
Flyin' off from a cliff
Ma, ma ,ma ,ma, ma,ma,ma
Swooping down to the ground
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Around, and around, and around, and around
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Can you dance the Hippogriff?
Ma, ma ,ma ,ma, ma,ma,ma
Flyin' off from a cliff
Ma, ma ,ma ,ma, ma,ma,ma
Swooping down to the ground
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Around, and around, and around, and around
Ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
Come on!
Yeah!
Can you dance like a Hippogriff?
