One, two, three
One, two, three
Ow! Uh! Alright! Uh!

Got to know how to Pony

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

Ow! Uh!
Na, na-na na-na
Na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na-na
Need somebody help me say it one time!
Na, na-na na-na
Na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na-na

Wow!
Ow!
Uh!
You know I feel alright?
Hah!
Feel pretty good, y'all
Uh-hah!

Na, na-na na-na
Na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na-na
C'mon y'all, let's say it one mo' time!
Na, na-na na-na
Na-na na-na
Na-na na-na na-na
Na-na na-na

Ohh!

Dancin' in the alley
With Long Tall Sally
Twistin' with Lucy
Doin' the Watusi
Roll over on your back
I like it like that
Do that Jerk, oh
Watch me work, y'all

Ow! Do it!
Wow! Do it!
Watch me do it
Ohh, help me!
Ohh, help me!
Ohh, help me!
Ohh, help me!

    Best dance song of all time! Bring a deadman back to life

  73. R.... Y....

    I regret being percussion.

  74. J.... V....

    The "original" version is usually the best in the music world. I love this tune. I was lucky enough to see a live show of Wilson Pickett when he was still fairly young. He was bad-ass to the max. I also really love the version Cannibal and the Headhunters did. They didn't just do a cover of it they put their own spin to it to make it just as effective as Pickett's but in a different way.

  75. d.... b....

    Always loved this song even when they did it in the WWF lol ! Too much fun !

  76. R.... K....

    First time i heard this song was 83..at the ending of The Great Outdoors with John Candy and Dan Akroyd..i stil love this song
