You put your left foot in,
you take your left foot out
you put your left foot in then you shake it all about...
do the hokey pokey and ya turn yourself around
that's what it's all about!

You put your right foot in,
you take your right foot out
you put your right foot in then you shake it all about...
do the hokey pokey and ya turn yourself around
that's what it's all about!

You put your big butt in,
you take your big butt out
you put your big butt in then you shake it all about...
do the hokey pokey and ya turn yourself around
(big finish, with jazz hands!)
that's what it's all about!

When was the last time you did the hokey pokey? believe it or not, I did the hokey pokey 2 weeks ago! the reason I'm only telling you now is because I could not figure out how to tell you the story of the boy who decided he wanted to be completely silly and wonderful and convince me it would be the perfect way to release some of the pressure we were both feeling. I still don't know. Because he's not exactly a friend, but he's definitely more than just a business contact. He's someone who has impressed me and someone I want to know... someone who is in touch with spiritual truths that the average person doesn't think about (who else would know exactly how perfect a child's dancing game would put us in touch with the perspective we needed that evening?)... he's just someone... you know.
