Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Let it hang out, baby

Let it hang out, now

Na-na-na-na-now

Let it hang out, baby

Everybody work out

Yeah

[Verse 2]

Now sookie, sookie, sookie, sookie

Sookie, sookie, soo

[Verse 3]

Let it hang out, baby

Do the Boston Monkey

Let it hang out, baby, now

Boomerang with me

[Verse 4]

Sookie, sookie, sookie, sookie

Sookie, sookie, sookie, soo

[Verse 5]

Feelin' kinda bad, child

Drink a bottle of turpentine

When you wake up in the morning, girl

Lookin', feelin' kinda fine

[Verse 6]

Let it hang out, baby

Let it hang out, now

Now, now, now, now, now

[Verse 7]

You, you better watch your step, child

Don't step on that banana peel and

Your foot ever hit it, baby

You go up to the ceiling

[Verse 8]

Hang in there, baby

Hang in, baby, now

Hang in there, baby

Hang in, baby , now

[Verse 9]

Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now

Sookie

Baby

Hang in there, baby

Work out

Now baby, Twine

Jerk till it hurt

Those people don't care

They goin' away from here

Ah, baby

You're good

Oh, baby
