Lyrics
Like a stupid horse you keep wandering off the path
Started off straight & narrow -- then I smack you right on the ass
We do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around
Keep it zipped up til I'm out of town
And then you get around in hokey pokey town
Like a stupid cow my bell is an early warning
Call you when the plane gets in
You got an hour to hide the evidence
She's got a gold-trimmed soccer mom Lexus
I got detectives and they got pictures
Kiss her on the cheek...no both cheeks...no all of 'em
We do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around
Keep it zipped up til I'm out of town
And then you get around in hokey pokey town
I thought you were a friend, I thought you were my everything
But now it's got to end, I can't believe your anything
Love comes easy in the after glow
You and me baby it's the after-go
Push and pull baby it's a give and take
You bend the rules now they're gonna break
Like a stupid dog you keep chasing after cars
Always the same when you catch them -- they always drive away
We do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around
Let someone else wear your wedding gown
A hokey pokey clown in hokey pokey town
