Here we come again…
We're doing a new dance-real strong dance

It's called the Huckle-Buck-real strong dance
Come on and take my hand
Come on and Huckle-Buck with…now watch me
We're going to new places now…
Atlanta, Georgia-here we come
Royal Peacock, y'all
Miami, Florida-going to the Island Club
Step over in Memphis
Going to the Hippo Drome
Everybody's swinging
The Mar-keys going down under
Going to the…California
Going to the Five-Four Ballroom

Let me show you how to do it
Jump back, jump up, jump back, jump up-up-up-up
