One, two, three, four

There was a time

When I used to dance
There was a time
When I used to prance


Dig me now, baby, ha
Don't worry bout later, ha

Here's a dance I used to do
They call the mash potato, oh


Lookie here
There was a dance
They call the jerk

Everybody relax
And watch me work


All right, lookie here

In my home town

Up here with the boys
The name of the place
Is Chicago, Illinois


Up there, we have a good time
We don't talk, ha

Instead we all get together
Any type of weather
Then we do the camel walk, wow


All right, lookie here


Now there was a dance
That I used to do now
The name of the dance

They call the boogaloo, ha

I may not do the dance

As well as you, ha
But you can bet your bottom dollar
You'll never hear me holler

I'll do the best that I can do, wow

All right, lookie here


There was a time
Sometimes I danced

Sometimes I danced
Baby, sometimes I danced
Baby, baby, baby, yeah


They call me the woman handler
They call me the woman handler

But you can bet you
Haven't seen nothing yet
Until you've seen me do

The Gene Chandler, wow
