But glamour don’t matter when you come from Tennessee,
‘Cuz I’m a Hokey Pokey Girl—not a Trophy!

Do the Hokey Pokey and feel {clap} alright!
Here’s the traditional Hokey Pokey {RIGHT FOOT
}.
Now get ready with your right foot!
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! {clap}
Here’s your second new move – it’s The Push!
Oh, you never want to hear it when I’ve had a bad day.
I’m cryin’, sighin’, you’re pushin’ me away.
My love is here to stay…
but you’re pushin’, pushin’, pushin’ me away.
Pushin’, pushin’ me away.
Pushin’, pushin’ me away.
Here’s the traditional Hokey Pokey again.
Left foot next!
You put your left foot in,

You put your left foot in,
and you shake it all about!
You do the Hokey Pokey

To the boy from New York city,
from the girl from Tennessee,
Scratch below the surface,
and here’s what you will find….
Love , love, love… (Love is not a crime)
Love, love, love… (It’s really quite sublime)
Love , love, love… (Love is not a crime)
Love, love, love… (It’s really quite sublime)
Oh, yeah, baby (not a crime),
Oh yeah (quite sublime)
Oh yeah, baby (not a crime)….Love!
