There's a dance you should know
When the lights are down low
Grab your baby then go

Do the hucklebuck, do the hucklebuck
If you don't know how to do it, boy you're out of luck
Push your partner out then you hunch your back
Start a little movement in your sacroiliac
Wiggle like a snake, wobble like a duck
That's the way you do it when you do the hucklebuck

There's a dance you should know
When the lights are down low
Grab your baby then go

There's a dance you should know
When the lights are down low
Grab your baby then go

Do the hucklebuck, do the hucklebuck
If you don't know how to do it, boy you're out of luck
Push your partner out then you hunch your back
Start a little movement in your sacroiliac
Wiggle like a snake, wobble like a duck
Now that's the way you do it when you do the hucklebuck
