Foot Stomping
The Flares Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody young and old
Learn how to rock and roll
Listen, here's something new
Everybody's lookin' to

Foot stomping
With each other
You're wondering how to dance
Only dance and listen
Listen to the jerkin' beat
Shake your head and stomp your feet.

Foot stomping
With each other

Even just the other day
Taught it to my sister kay
Fat leg-ged mr. blue
Can do foot stompin' too.

Foot stomping
With each other

Meet me at the dance hall
We're gonna have a ball
Sure cue, 4 thorn
4 thorn, 3 thorns





Foot stomping
With each other

I love, love, love this song and Hairspray is one of my all-time favorite films!

@lindadee2053

There was a special dance step to this song. It was a very easy step but it was murder on the ankles after about a minute or two of doing it. Still, remembering that pain brings back wonderful memories of very happy times.

@cynthiahawkins2389

The entire junior class at my high school would get up and stomp in unison. What a memory!!!
