Little boy running and the little girl too
Got the money tucked up in their hands
Over the wall and down into the street

Give your money to the hollering man
Give your money to the hollering man


Everybody runs for Hokey Pokey
Hear the 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 all right, all right
Hokey Pokey made her feel all right


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 prison number 999
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


Boss man he says to the choir-boy Rocky
Don’t you sing to the boys in blue
Or you won’t get no more Hokey Pokey

By the time we’re through with you
By the time we’re through with you



Fellas in the alley all look like girls
With the lipstick and the 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
