Well, my knees are knocking My feet are hot I'm shaking all over, on the spot I said one step, two step three step four Shuffle that way, across the floor Takes two to tango Up and down, pogo Flamingo, or limbo Honey might start(?) to go-go It ain't what you dance it's the way you dance it It ain't what you move it's the way you move it I said "oh no, let's go, dance all night at the disco" Moving around, like a night on the town Well, it ain't what you dance it's the way you dance it Well my tools are twinkling Hop skip and jump Do the charleston, do the bump Dance the old, dance the new Waltz to the schmaltz and soft-shoe Cha-cha, ramba! bossa-nova, polka! Do the swim-watusi(?) Let those feet go free
It ain't what you dance it's the way you dance it It ain't what you move it's the way you move it I said "oh no, don't stop - biddley-ae-up-bee-bop bee bahp" Moving around, like a night on the town Well, it ain't what you dance it's the way you dance it I couldn't live with the music, ever stop I'll still be dancing, til the day I drop I'll never stop, no! Shake around, jump & jive Hang five, do the dive Twishing and swinging, keep on dancing It ain't what you dance it's the way you dance it It ain't what you move it's the way you move it It ain't what you dance it's the way you dance it It ain't what you groove it's the way you groove it Ooh Yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah!
