You reach your right hoof in

You reach your right hoof out

You reach your right hoof in

And you shake it all about

You do the pony pokey meeting lots of folks with clout

That's what I'm talking about

You step your left hoof in

You pull it right back out

You step your left hoof in

But you better help him out

You do the pony pokey but should find a different route

That's what it's all about

You kick your back left in

You pull your back left out

You reach your back left in

Just be brave and have no doubt

You do the pony pokey feeling like you're gonna pout

That's what I'm singing about

You tilt your head in

You tilt your head out

You tilt your head in

Then you shake it all about

You do the pony pokey even though your date's a lout

You're better off without

You stomp your whole self in

You stomp your whole self out

You stomp your whole self in

And you stomp yourself about

You do the pony pokey and you give a little shout

That's what I'm talking about

You do the pony pokey

You do the pony pokey

You do the pony pokey

And that's what it's all about

Yeah
