INTRO . .
All join hands and cir-cle round
Grab your part-ner and slide on down
Not a man left here we go,
Do-si-do-si-do
Work-in' man tired of work-in'
work-in' 'til he's dead
Got-ta crawl a crook-ed mile
just to get a step a-head
Bank-er got the mon-ey
Farm-er put it on the ground
Bank-er go-in' up and
the Farm-er go-in' down
Do-si-do and a tip o' the hat
One step for-ward and
two steps back
Great gosh al-might-y,
We're do-in' the poor boy shuf-fle
It's - an age old thing,
Ain't noth-in' new
Damned if you don't,
Damned if you do
Left side, right side up-side down
Do the hok-ey pok-ey,
turn your-self a-round
Do-si-do and a tip o' the hat
One step for-ward and
two steps back
Great gosh al-might-y,
We're do-in' the poor boy shuf-fle
Some-times you've just
got to take a chance
Strike a pose, take a stance
Get off your butt an' dance
One step, two step,
three - step, four
Do a boo-gie woo-gie
in the mid-dle of the floor
Keep on danc-in' do-in'
the poor boy shuf-fle
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
. . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . .
Tax man, tax man
Knock-ing at the door
Give me all you've got to give
and gim-me lit-tle more
It's a bad boo-ga-loo
It's the ul-ti-mate hus-tle
It's a dance mar-a-thon
It's the poor - boy shuf-fle
Do-si-do and a tip o' the hat
One step for-ward and
two steps back
Great gosh al-might-y,
We're do-in' the poor boy shuf-fle
Some-times you've just
got to take a chance
Strike a pose, take a stance
Get off your butt an' dance
One step, two step,
three - step, four
Do a boo-gie woo-gie
in the mid-dle of the floor
Keep on danc-in' do-in'
the poor boy shuf-fle
Do-si-do and a tip o' the hat
One step for-ward and
two steps back
Great gosh al-might-y,
We're do-in' the poor boy shuf-fle
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
. . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .
One step, two step,
three - step, four
Do a boo-gie woo-gie
in the mid-dle of the floor
Keep on danc-in' do-in'
the poor boy shuf-fle
You've got to keep on, keep on, keep on
You've got to keep on, keep on, keep on
You've got to keep on dan-cin'
do-in' the poor boy shuf-fle
