[F#] [A] Then the boy running [A] and the little girl too Got the money tucked up in her hand
Over the wall and down into the street [D] Giving money to the hollerin' [A] man
Giving [D] money to the [A] hollerin' man
Everybody runs for hope, you know Bringing on the ice cream, well
He's got the stuff that'll cool it right down [D] It's the best thing they ever [A] did, so
Well, [D] it's the best thing they ever [A] did, so
[D] [D]
[A] Girl on the corner with the tight dress on You know she don't know nothin' so fine
And it feels so good when you put it in your mouth [D] Send a shiver all [A] down your spine
[D] Send a shiver all [A] down your spine
Yeah, got your tongue, says Brian, keeps you money, girl
You haven't said a word all night
[D] Well, she [A] smiled and she took another [D] bite Hokey pokey made her feel [A] alright
Alright, [D] hokey pokey made her feel [A] alright
[D] [A] [D]
[A] Well, some like it bad and some like it bad And some like it poke or two
But everybody runs for hope, you [D] know It's the natural [A] thing to do
[D] It's the natural [A] thing to do
Down in the prison number 999 Working like a bee in a hive
[D]
He's still [A] dreaming of hokey [D] pokey Helps to keep that [A] boy alive
[D] Helps to keep that [A] boy alive
[D]
[A] [D] [A]
Boss man says to quiet boy Rocky Don't you sing to the boys in blue
Or you won't get no more hokey [D] pokey By the time we're [A] through
[D] By the time we're [A] through
Paris in the alley on the park, girls and dudes Sleek and the high heeled shoes
[D] Feels so [A] pretty and the boys all [D] say Let me know just [A] what to do
[D] Let me know just [A] what
[D] [A] [D]
