Everybody get on your feet,
You make me nervous when you in your seat
Take off your shoes and pat your feet,
Were doin a dance that cant be beat
Were barefootin, were barefootin,
Were barefootin, were barefootin,

Went to a party the other night,
Long Tall Sally was out of sight
Threw way her wig, and her high sneakers too,
She was doin' a dance without any shoes
She was barefootin', she was barefootin',
She was barefootin', she was barefootin',

Hey little gal with the red dress on,
I bet you can barefoot all night long

Take off your shoes and throw them away,
Come back and get them another day
Were barefootin', were barefootin',
Were barefootin', were barefootin',

(Musical interlude)

Lil John Henry he said to Sue,
If I was barefootin' would you barefoot too
Sue told John, I'm thirty two,
I was barefootin' ever since I was two
They was barefootin', they was barefootin'
They was barefootin', we barefootin'

We barefootin', we barefootin'
We barefootin', we barefootin'
