child you oughta been there night fo’ last
seen sister shakin’ her tailfeather
you oughta been there night fo’ last
watching grandpa getting his thing together
then grandpa headed onto the floor
said hold my cane son and watch me go
’cause i’m feeling sixteen not sixtyfour
and all of the hippies started screaming and screaming
go grandpa go go grandpa go
you oughta know that i’m comin’ easy
wastin’ no time gettin’ busy
doing the or little hucklebuck
and for an old girl she really knew her stuff
then somebody turned the lights down the low
and said we got to lock all the doors
and then up jumped doctor feelgood
and he started to do a twist
and said i ain’t never been in a joint like this
ow
ohh the cuckooclock started striking four
the band said we’re sorry but it’s time to go
somebody plugged the jukebox up in the floor
oh then up jumps skinnyminny doin’ the shimmyshimmy
out went daddy waving a piece of barbeque
you oughta been there night fo’ last
child you oughta been there night fo’ last
night fo’ last
skinnyminny was doin’ the shimmy child night fo’ last
oh they was lettin’ their hair down night fo’ last
