The Huckle-Buck Songtext

von Otis Redding

Here we come again...
We're doing a new dance—real strong dance
Everybody—sisters, papas, mamas, papa's boys
A stone dance—you know what they're doing
It's called the Huckle-Buck—real strong dance
Come on and take my hand
Come on and Huckle-Buck with... now watch me
We're going to new places now...

Atlanta, Georgia—here we come
Royal Peacock, y'all
Miami, Florida—going to the Island Club
Step over in Memphis
Going to the Hippo Drome
Everybody's swinging
The Mar-keys going down under

Going to the... California
Going to the Five-Four Ballroom
Step over in Detroit city
Going to the Twenty-Grand Club
Move over to Washington, D.C.
We're going to the Holland Theater
Huckle-Buck, y'all

Everybody Huckle Bucking
If you don't know, you're sure out of luck
I tell you what we do...
We're going to Chicago
We're going to the Windy City, they call it
Going to do the Huckle-Buck now
Everybody''s Bucking now
Mamas, brothers, sisters, fathers—they Huckle Bucking all night
We got a thing going
You jump back, you jump forward, you jump back-back-back-back
Let me show you how to do it
Jump back, jump up, jump back, jump up-up-up-up
