Lyrics
It all started out with the twist
But for me it was always the jerk
So many dances go just like this
Boogaloo, just watching me work
It's monkey time, to shake and to shout
Do the mashed potatoes
That's what it's about
Moving at the go-go
Grooving, never go slow
We went swim with a shingaling tune
Do the horse and skate a while too
Baby, do the philly dog and boogaloo
Do the locomotion, it's coming at us
It's hitchhike time, get out on the floor
Do the philly dog now we're dancing some more
Moving at the go-go
Grooving, never go slow
Once upon a time we all did the slop
Shocking number too, now the dancing never stops
Moving at the go-go
Grooving, never go slow
It all started out with the twist
But for me it was always the jerk
So many dances go just like this
Boogaloo, just watching me work
Dancing and tweaking lift me up high
Spinning in circles I feel I can fly
Moving at the go-go
Grooving, never go slow
