	Story Behind the Song this is a song about ice cream, apparently... it has a very tight structure that nevertheless allows for a good deal of latitude. It was a lot of fun to record. Lyrics Little boy running and the little girl too Got the money tucked up in their hand Over the wall and down into the street Give your money to the hollerin' man Give your money to the hollerin' man Everybody runs for Hokey Pokey Hear him ringing on the ice-cream bell He's got the stuff that'll cool you right down It's the best that they ever did sell It's the best that they ever did sell Girl on the corner with the tight dress on You know she don't know nothing so fine Feels so good when you put it in your mouth Sends a shiver all down your spine Sends a shiver all down your spine "Cat got your tongue?" says Frankie to Annie "Girl, you haven't said a word all night" Well, Annie she smiled and she took another bite Hokey Pokey made her feel alright, alright Hokey Pokey made her feel alright Well, some like it round and some like it flat And some like a poke or two But everybody runs for Hokey Pokey It's the natural thing to do It's the natural thing to do Down in the prison, number nine nine nine Working like a bee in a hive He's still dreaming 'bout Hokey Pokey Helps to keep that boy alive Helps to keep that boy alive Bossman he says to choirboy Rocky "Don't you sing to the boys in blue Or you won't get no more Hokey Pokey By the time we're through with you By the time we're through with you" Fellows in the alley all look like girls With their lipstick and their high-heeled shoes Feel so pretty and the boys all say That they know just what to do That they know just what to do
