Hokey-Pokey

SHAKESPEAREAN VERSION:

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.

Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin!  A wilde release from Heavens yoke.
Blessed dervish!  Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.

THE ORIGINAL:

You put your left foot in,
You put your left foot out;
You put your left foot in,
And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
