The lyrics of Johnny's song "Booty Ooty" speak of the joy and entertainment that come from watching someone shake their "booty ooty," referring to their hips or buttocks, to the ground. The singer describes the experience as incredible and unforgettable, a paradise-like moment that draws people from miles around just to see it. The person's dance is cutie, and they seem to be a pro at dancing to the foxtrot. The repetition of the phrase "get down, watch you by yourself" adds to the celebratory mood of the song, encouraging the dancer to continue their impressive moves. The song ends with a request to "do the thing," implying that the dancer should keep doing what they're doing.
The lyrics of the song are simple and repetitive, which could indicate that the appeal of the song lies more in its rhythm and beat. However, it can also be interpreted as a fun and harmless celebration of the joy of dancing and being able to move one's body in a way that is pleasing to oneself and others. Perhaps the "booty ooty" dance style, while not explicitly described, is a creative and unique way of dancing that is worth witnessing.
