You put your right foot in
You put your right foot out
You put your right foot in
And you shake it all about
You do the hockey pockey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it's all about
You put your left foot in
You put your left foot out
You put your left foot in
And you shake it all about
You do the hockey pockey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it's all about
You put your right hand in
You put your right hand out
You put your right hand in
And you shake it all about
You do the hockey pockey and you turn yourself around
That’s what is all about
You put your left hand in
You put your left hand out
You put your left hand in
And you shake it all about
You do the hockey pockey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it's all about
You put your head in
You put your head out
You put your head in
And you shake it all about
You do the hockey pockey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it's all about
You put your whole self in
You put your your whole self out
You put your your whole self in
And you shake it all about
You do the hockey pockey and you turn yourself around
That’s what it's all about
