Dance Dance Dance
GEIL Lyrics

One, two, three!
Start of the song with a rhythmic countdown

You gotta know how to pony like Bony Maronie
To dance like Bony Maronie, you need to know how to pony in a certain way

Mashed Potato, do the Alligator
Different forms of dance moves like mashed potato and alligator are to be done

Put your hands on your hips, let your back-bone slip
Instructions on how to do a dance move properly

Do the Watusi, like my little Lucy
Watusi is a particular dance form which is to be done like someone's little Lucy is doing it

Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na.
Repetitive, rhythmic song lyrics that sound great in a song

Need somebody to help me say it one time
As an artist, GEIL needs someone to help him with the singing of the song

You know I feel alright.
The singer feels good and comfortable while singing the song

Dance with me honey, like Long Tall Sally
GEIL wants to dance with someone, just like Long Tall Sally would

Twistin' with Lucy, doin the Watusi
Twist with someone named Lucy, and do the Watusi dance form

Gotta hold of your back, I like it like that
The singer likes holding on to someone's back while dancing and singing this song

Do the Jerk, watch me work
Instructions on how to do another dance move and singer asks others to watch him do it

Ah, do it!
Singer urges you to do the dance moves properly
