Lyrics
(There's a dance called Watusi, it's out of sight)
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(First, you slide to the left then to the right)
Come on, come on
The Watusi is out of sight
Slide to the left and to the right
Take two steps up and keep it tight
Do the Watusi, it sure is right
Come on try, sugar pie
Keep with the beat
An' Watusi, Wah-Watusi
Shimmy your shoulders, slop with your feet
And wiggle your hips in time with the beat
Do the Bow and Arrow, come out of the Horse
Or Pigmy Shuffle, a-take your choice
Come on try, sugar pie
Keep with the beat
The Watusi, Wah-Watusi
(There's a dance called Watusi, it's out of sight)
Ah, it's alright for me, babe
(First, you slide to the left then to the right)
Come on, come on, now
(Two steps forward, swing tight)
Whoa, yeah now
(There's a dance called Watusi) Woo, (it's out of sight)
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
(Bop-bop, ba-da-pa-da
Bop-bop, ba-da-pa-da
Bop-bop, ba-da-pa-da
Bop-bop, ba-da-pa-da
Ah, ah, ah)
Well, don't stop now, I'm really not through
There's so many steps that you can do
Well, the Dish Rag, and do the Spoon
Do the Watusi, honey, in time with the beat
Come on try, sugar pie
It's easy to do
The Watusi, Wah-Watusi
(There's a dance called Watusi, it's out of sight)
Well, child you know, you know, you oughta do the Watusi, now
(First you slide to the left then to the right)
Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey, come on, now
There's a dance called Watusi
