Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Come on baby let me see
Doing the Hully Gully dance with me
All right hold tight
Hully Gully
Busting down in Waikiki
Everybody dances till a quarter to three
Okay no delay
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Walking in the rain and doing the Hully Gully
Always feel the same when I'm doing the Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Country music is really fine
But make it Hully Gully rhythm all the time
Cause when that spin
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Walking in the rain and doing the Hully Gully
Always feel the same when I'm doing the Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Roll back the rug and nail up the door
It's cotton pickin' finger clickin' dancing on the floor
I'm a clown just dancing round
To Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Walking in the rain and doing the Hully Gully
Always feel the same when I'm doing the Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
Hully Gully
