[Verse 1]
Have you heard about the new thing
That's sweeping the country?
It's the reason for the cool jerk
The reason for the monkey

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on girl, you know there's really nothin' to it
Shake your tail feather now, I'll show you how to do it

[Chorus]
Everybody's doin' it
The soul searchin' baby

[Verse 2]
I wanna tell you people
About this groovy fad now
You better get yourself together
Don't you let it drag now

[Pre-Chorus]
And now I'm gonna show you what I got in mind
I'm soul searchin', baby, and I'm right on time, yeah

[Chorus]
Everybody's doin' it
The soul searchin' baby
[Bridge]
See that man standin' over there now
I dared the cat to stick with me
He say that he can burn my feet now
That day the man will never see

[Chorus]
Everybody's doin' it
The soul searchin' baby

[Verse 1]
Now you heard about the new thing
That's sweeping the country
It's the reason for the cool jerk
The reason for the monkey

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on girl, you know there's really nothin' to it
Shake your tail feather now, I'll show you how to do it

[Chorus]
Everybody's doin' it
The soul searchin' baby

[Outro]
The soul searchin' baby
Hey hey hey now
The soul searchin' baby
Hey, alright
A little soul searchin' baby
