Put your right foot in,
Put your right foot out,
Give your right foot a shake, shake, shake.

Chorus: And turn your body all about, all about,
And turn your body all about.

Put your left foot in,
Take your left foot out,
Give your left foot a shake, shake, shake.

(Chorus)

Put your right hand in,
Take your right hand out,
Give your right hand a shake, shake, shake.

(Chorus)

Now the left hand in,
Take your left hand out,
Give your left hand a shake, shake, shake.

(Chorus)

Put your ugly mug in,
Take your ugly mug out,
Give your ugly mug a shake, shake, shake,
And turn your body all about.

Put your partner in,
Put your partner out,
Give your partner a shake, shake, shake.

(Chorus)

(Mr. Ash: "Now, you're in a circle, and each partner . . . you have partners . . . and you make as many in the procession as you want to, in a complete circle, and then each one goes through the drill from the foot and hands and the head and then your partner, and then the game is over.")
