Richard Linda Thompson - Hokey Pokey lyrics

At the money took up in their hand

Over the wall and down into the street

Give your money to the hollerin' man

Give your money to the hollerin' man

Every boy runs for Hokey Pokey

Hear him 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 alright, alright

Hokey Pokey made her feel alright

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 the prison, number nine lying down

Been 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

Watchman he says to choirboy Rocky

"Don't you sing to the boys in blue?

Oh, you won't get no more Hokey Pokey

By the time we're through with you

By the time we're through with you"

Fellows in the alley all look like girls

With their lipstick and their 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
