Lyrics

Chorus:
Here we go looby loo, <skip, dance, and sway to the music>
Here we go looby light,
Here we go looby loo,
All on a Saturday night,

Sing each Verse followed by the Chorus:

You put your right hand in, <follow the directions of the song>
You take your right hand out,
You give your hand a shake, shake, shake,
And turn yourself about!

You put your left hand in, <follow the directions of the song>
You take your left hand out,
You give your left hand a shake, shake, shake,
And turn yourself about!

You put your right foot in, <follow the directions of the song>
You take your right foot out.
You give your right foot a shake, shake, shake,
And turn yourself about!

You put your left foot in, <follow the directions of the song>
You take your left foot out,
You give your left foot a shake, shake, shake,
And turn yourself about!

You put your whole self in, <follow the directions of the song>
You take your whole self out,
You give your whole self a shake, shake, shake,
And turn yourself about!

Variations

Chorus:
Here we dance looby loo, <skip, dance, and sway to the music>
Here we dance looby light,
Here we dance looby loo,
All on a Saturday night,
