When you're alone and you're feeling blue;
There's a dance----- that I think you should do;
Old folks can do it and the young folk too;
It's a brand new dance called the hootchy koo;
Hootchy koo --ooo ooo ooo, yeah, the hootchy koo;

I called for the doctor, this is what he said;
He said bay--beee that girl is awful sick and should be put in bed;
Too much hootchy koo is goin' through child's head;
A hootchy koo --ooo ooo ooo, yeah, the hootchy koo;
