Lyrics:
1-2-3
1-2-3
Ow! Uh! Alright! Uh!

Got to know how to pony
Like Bony Maronie
Mash potato, do the alligator

Put your hand on your hips, yeah
Let your backbone slip
Do the Watusi
Like my little Lucy

Hey! Uh!
Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na
I need somebody to help me say it one time
Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na
Wow!

Wow! Uh!
You know I feel alright!
Huh!
I feel pretty good y'all
Uh! Huh!
Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na
Come on y'all, let's say it one more time
Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na
Oow!

Playing, it is a habit
With long tall Sally
Twistin' with Lucy
Doin' the Watusi
Roll over on your back
I like it like that
Do that Jerk, uh
Watch me work y'all

Ow! Do it!
Wow! Do it!
Just watch me do it
Aah, help me
Aah, help me
Aah, help me
Aah, help me
