The Groovey Thing

(album: Doin' Mickey's Monkey - 1963)

Come on, I wanna show you the groovy thing
That's the new dance of the day
If you don't know how, I'm here to show how
So everybody look this way

Everybody get in place for the first step
And don't move 'til I say go
And now slide to the right and do the dance of your delight
If you hear my whistle blow

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
When you dance like you wanna and sing
That's the groovy thing
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, that's the groovy thing)

Everybody get in place for the next step
And don't move 'til I say so
Now slide to the left and go for yourself
If you hear my whistle blow

Oh-oh-oh-oh, go (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
When you dance like you wanna and sing
That's the groovy thing
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, that's the groovy thing)

Everybody dance now
Shake it up, baby
One more time now

Everybody's got to have fun on the last step
Stand there toe-to-toe
Now take one step back and do what you like
If you hear my whistle blow

Oh-oh-oh-oh, go, go (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
When you dance like you wanna and sing
That's the groovy thing
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, that's the groovy thing)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Dance like you wanna and sing
That's the groovy thing
