Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I couldn't stop moving when it first took hold
It was a warm spring night at the old town hall
There was a group called The Jokers, they were laying it down
Don't ya know, never gonna lose that funky sound
[Verse 2]
Rock and roll, Hootchie Koo
Lordy, mama, light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hootchie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
[Verse 3]
The skeeters start a'buzzing 'bout this time of year
I'm going round back, said she'd meet me there
We were rolling in the grass that grows behind the barn
When my ears started ringing like a fire alarm
[Verse 4]
Rock and roll, Hootchie Koo
Lordy, mama, light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hootchie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
[Verse 5]
Somebody say keep on rocking?
[Verse 6]
I hope y'all know what I'm talking about
The way they wiggle that thing really knocks me out
I'm getting high all the time, hope y'all are too
Come a little closer, gonna do it to you
[Verse 7]
Rock and roll, Hootchie Koo
Lordy, mama, light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hootchie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
[Verse 8]
Rock and roll, Hootchie Koo
Lordy, mama, light my fuse
Rock and roll, Hootchie Koo
Truck on out and spread the news
[Verse 9]
That I'm tired of paying dues
Done saying goodbye to all my blues
Lordy, mama, light my fuse
