Overall Meaning

The lyrics to John Lennon's song "Do The Oz" are a playful and energetic invitation to dance. The song begins with a repeated refrain of "Do the oz" and "woo," establishing a rhythmic and catchy hook. The instructions for the dance steps are simple and accompanied by hand gestures, adding a physicality to the song's exhortations. As the song progresses, the dance instruction becomes more complex, involving leg movements and wing flapping, creating a sense of joyful abandon.


The lyrics suggest a playful and liberatory attitude towards life, inviting the listener to join in a communal experience of movement and self-expression. The repeated use of the word "babe" reinforces the sense of connection and intimacy between the singer and the listener, establishing a sense of shared experience. The playful language and simple instructions of the song reflect the countercultural spirit of the time in which it was written, and the sense of joy and freedom that was often associated with that era.
