[Verse 1]
Everybody young and old
Learns how to rock 'n roll
Listen to something new
Everybody sure can do

[Chorus]
Footstompin', footstompin', footstompin', footstompin'
(footstompin', footstompin', footstompin')
Footstompin'
All of the time!

[Verse 2]
Even just the other day
Taught it to my sister, May
Red-haired Mr. Blue
Sure can do that stomping too

[Chorus]

(Hey, Cherry!)

[Bridge]
Wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate
Well she can shimmy like a jelly on a plate
All the girls are
I can't do it
I can do it yeah ha
Ooh

Everybody in the neighbourhood
Knows I can shimmy, shimmy good
I won't be an angel so I ought to be
East going west, I go the west!

Meet me at the dance hall
We're going to have a ball
Show cure
All you want
Forlorn
Reborn

[Chorus]
