You put your (F)right foot in, you put your right foot out.

You put your right foot in, and you (C)shake it all a bout.

That’s what it’s all a (F)bout.

You put your (F)left foot in, you put your left foot out.

You do the Ho key Po key and you turn your self a round.

That’s what it’s all a (F)bout.

You put your (F)bout.
