You put your right hand in,

You put your right hand out;

You put your right hand in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey-Pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about!

You put your left hand in,

You put your left hand out;

You put your left hand in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey-Pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about!

Whoooo the Hokey-Pokey,

Whooooo the Hokey-Pokey,

That’s what it’s all about.

You put your right foot in,

You put your right foot out;

You put your right foot in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey-Pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about!

You put your left foot in,

You put your left foot out;

You put your left foot in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey-Pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about!

Whoooo the Hokey-Pokey,

Whooooo the Hokey-Pokey,

That’s what it’s all about.

You put your head in,

You put your head out;

You put your head in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey-Pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about!

You put your backside in,

You put your backside out;

You put your backside in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey-Pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about!

Whoooo the Hokey-Pokey,

Whooooo the Hokey-Pokey,

That’s what it’s all about.

You put your whole self in,

You put your whole self out;

You put your whole self in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey-Pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about.

Whoooo the Hokey-Pokey,

Whooooo the Hokey-Pokey,

That’s what it’s all about.

Whoooo the Hokey-Pokey,

Whooooo the Hokey-Pokey,

That’s what it’s all about.
