It¡¯s not today nor yesterday
|
The times were different then

The dancing was in dance halls
|
And it had to stop for lent

But one man kept it going

Crack so the d.j. left the town

Give us the locomotion
|
Gimme dancing shoes
|
Give us the mashed potato
|
Give us the boogalloo
|
And give us the words between the
|
Songs to keep us on the floor

Upright and strong

Helps us all to get along

He¡¯ll be climbing up the hit parade
