Now listen here friends, I wanna tell you
'Bout a brand new dance thart you gotta learn to do;
It's called the Okie Boogie, you do it Okie style,
That mean old Okie Boogie is bound to drive you wild!

Well it's gotta be fast, you can't go too slow,
If you hear that rhythm you got to dosey-doe!
When you do the Okie Boogie, and do it Okie style,
That mean old Okie Boogie is bound to drive you wild!

Old Man Mose, on a cane and a crutch,
tried to do the Okie boogie just a little too much,
For he tried to overdo it, Oklahoma style,
That mean old Okie Boogie is bound to drive you wild!

When you get started it's hard to stop,
If you don't watch out you're gonna blow your top!
When you do the Okie Boogie, and do it Okie style,
That mean old Okie Boogie drives everybody wild!

When you get the beat I'll tell you what to do,
Just grab your partner and follow on through!
Let's do the Okie Boogie, and do it Okie style,
That mean old Okie Boogie drives everybody wild!

Well it's gotta be fast, you can't go too slow,
If you hear that rhythm you got to dosey-doe!
When you do the Okie Boogie, and do it Okie style,
That mean old Okie Boogie is bound to drive you wild!

When you get the beat I'll tell you what to do,
Just grab your partner and follow on through!
Let's do the Okie Boogie, and do it Okie style,
That mean old Okie Boogie drives everybody wild!
