Lyrics

Put on your dancing shoes
We’re gonna wipe away those blues
Go get your party dress
For retro dancing, gonna get no rest.

We’re gonna do the checkered twist
Your mashed potatoes girl, now they’re the best
I love being close to you
When we do the boogaloo

Like the air and a cool breeze
When I’m dancing, I feel so free
Never sad when I retro dance
With you girl I only feel romance

Come on baby now not to close to me
While we do that wild Watusi
Hey freeloader, can’t you see
Waving my arms to the Freddie

In Bristol PA they do the stomp
Here at home, we do the slop
Johnny hitchhikes all the way from work
Gets on the dance floor and does the jerk

We’re gonna do the checkered twist
Your mashed potatoes girl, now they’re the best
Come on baby get close to me
To kiss your lips as we shimmy
