  • Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands

    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands

    Music never lets you down
    Puts a smile on your face
    Any time, any place
    Dancing helps relieve the pain
    Soothes your mind, makes you happy again
    Listen to those dancing feet
    Close your eyes and let go
    But it don't mean a thing
    If it ain't got that swing
    Bop-shoo-wa, bop-shoo-wa, bop-shoo-wa

    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands

    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands

    Spinning all around the floor
    Just like Rogers and Astaire
    Who found love without a care
    Stepping to our favorite tune
    The good times always end too soon
    Everybody's dancing
    Lift your feet, have some fun
    Come on everybody, get on your feet
    Clap your hands
    Everybody's screaming

    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands

    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands

    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands

    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Everybody dance, do-do-do
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
