The Hanky Panky Song

Well let me tell you about these Hanky Panky guys
They started a band and trying to sound so nice
First they started to cover a hit
But then the Pankies said ' c'mon boys let's write our own shit!'

This fresh Hanky Panky sound just came alive
So come on grab a girl and dance all night
C'mon everybody just sing along
And move your feet to the Hanky Panky song

Come on everybody throw your hands up in the sky
Just sing along and don't ask why
Spread the word that the boys are back in town
And sing along to the Hanky Panky song
