DANCING TO SAVE YOUR SOLE
Heel toe start with your right foot,
C'mon, let's go dancing to save your sole.
Ready all slide do it together,
Now you try dancing to save your sole.
Ready
Heel, toe resting on that foot,
Don't show that you are a flat foot,
Let's go dancing to save your sole.
Heel toe start with your right foot,
Dance slow using a light foot,
Let's go!
Ha-Cha-Ha-Cha-Cha-Cha!
Off side do it together,
Just like using a lever,
Okay!
Daddy-Oh-Bo-Bo-Be-Bo-Bah!
When there's another makes you go weary deary,
It's easy just like taking a stroll.
Heel toe resting on that foot,
Don't show you are a flat foot,
Let's go!
Vo-Do-De-O-De-Do-De-O!
Da-Dum-De-Da-De-Da-De-Da!

Hmph... I did it tha 'o didn't know!
Heel toe start with your right foot,

Ready all slide do it together,
Now you try dancing to save your sole.
Ready
Heel, toe resting on that foot,
Don't show that you are a flat foot,
Let's go dancing to save your sole.
Heel toe start with your right foot,
Dance slow using a light foot,
