Spoken: Not now, Moose, I'll tell you when.

Here's a dance you should know.
When the lights are down low.
Grab your baby then go.

Do the Hucklebuck (do the Hucklebuck).
Do the Hucklebuck (do the Hucklebuck).
If you don't know how to do it,
Boy, you're out of luck (boy, you're out of luck).
Push your partner out (push your partner out).
Then you hunch your back (then you hunch your back).
Start a little movement in your sacroiliac (sacroiliac).
Wiggle like a snake (wiggle like a snake).
Waddle like a duck (waddle like a duck).
That's the way you do it when you do the Hucklebuck.

Backup singers:
Here's a dance you should know.
When the lights are down low.
Grab your baby then go.

Spoken: Yeah, dad, right now!

Here's a dance you should know.
