You put the left folks in,
You take the right wing out,
you put the left folks in
And you shake it all about
There’s so much Hokey Pokey
We can turn ourselves around
And that’s what it’s all about!

You put your whole brain in
You take your whole brain out
You put your whole brain in
And you shake it all about
You do a lot of thinking and you protest and you shout
And that’s what it’s all about!

You put your whole voice in
You take your whole voice out
You put your whole voice in
And you shake it all about
You sing for those who’re hurting and you sow a lot of doubt
And that’s what it’s all about!
YEAH!!!
