The Hokey Cokey ( British version )

Hokey Cokey is a song and dance that we do sometimes in Britain at birthday parties.

You put your right hand in,

You take your right hand out,

You put your right hand in and

You shake it all about,

You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about.

Chorus : Oh Hokey Cokey Cokey ( x 3 )

Knees bent, arms stretched, rah, rah, rah.

You put your left hand in,

You take your left hand out,

You put your left hand in and

You shake it all about,

You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about.

Chorus : Oh Hokey Cokey Cokey ( x 3 )

Knees bent, arms stretched, rah, rah, rah.

You put your right foot in,

You take your right foot out,

You put your right foot in and

You shake it all about,

You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about.

Chorus : Oh Hokey Cokey Cokey ( x 3 )

Knees bent, arms stretched, rah, rah, rah.

You put your left foot in,

You take your left foot out,

You put your left foot in and

You shake it all about,

You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about.

Chorus : Oh Hokey Cokey Cokey ( x 3 )

Knees bent, arms stretched, rah, rah, rah.

You put your whole self in,

You take your whole self out,

You put your whole self in and

You shake it all about,

You do the Hokey Cokey and you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about.

Chorus : Oh Hokey Cokey Cokey ( x 3 )

Knees bent, arms stretched, rah, rah, rah.
