I couldn't stop moving when it first took hold
Was a balling night at the old town hall
There's a band called The Jokers, they were laying it down
And you know I'm never gonna lose the funky sound

Rock and Roll Hoochie-Coo
Lawdy mama, light my fuse
Rock and Roll Hoochie-Coo
Strut on down and spread the news, yeah

I hope you all know what I'm talking about
It's a really good thing that makes me jump and shout
Gets me all the time but if you ain't there too
Just come a little closer and I'll do it to you, yeah

Rock and Roll Hoochie-Coo
Lawdy mama, light my fuse
Rock and Roll Hoochie-Coo
Strut on down and spread the news, yeah strut on

This crazy starts bucking about the time of year
Just going round back, gonna meet me there
We'll roll in the grass growing behind the barn
Then my ears start ringing like a fire alarm, yeah

Rock and Roll Hoochie-Coo
Lawdy mama, light my fuse
Rock and Roll Hoochie-Coo
Strut on down and spread the news, yeah
Rock and Roll Hoochie-Coo
Lawdy mama, light my fuse
Rock and Roll Hoochie-Coo
Strut on down and spread the news
Sure got tired of paying dues
Said goodbye to all my blues
Lawdy mama, light my fuse
