Poor
Boy Shuffle
Walt
Richmond, Steve Ripley, Ron Davies
Workin'
man tired of workin', workin' till he's dead
Got to crawl a crooked mile, just to get a
step ahead
Banker got the money--Farmer put it in the
ground
Banker goin' uptown--Farmer goin' down
Chorus
It's a do si do and tip of the hat
One step forward and two steps back
Great gosh a mighty... We're doin' the Poor
Boy Shuffle
It's an age old dance--ain't nothin' new
Damned if you don't--damned if you do
Left side, right side, upside down
Do the hokey pokey--turn yourself around
Chorus
Sometimes you just got to take a chance
Strike a pose--take a stance
And get off your butt and dance
One step, two step, three step, four
Do a boogie woogie in the middle of the floor
Keep on dancin'... Doin' the Poor Boy Shuffle
Taxman, Taxman--knockin at the door
Gimme all you got to give, then gimme... gimme
a little more
It's a bad boogaloo--it's the ultimate hustle
It's a dance marathon--it's the Poor Boy Shuffle
Chorus
Sometimes you just got to take a chance
Strike a pose--take a stance
And get off your butt and dance
One step, two step, three step, four
Do the boogie woogie in the middle of the
floor
Keep on dancin'... Doing the Poor Boy Shuffle
Chorus
One step, two step, three step, four
Do the boogie woogie in the middle of the
floor
Got to keep on dancin'... Doin' the Poor Boy
Shuffle
You got to keep on, keep on, keep on
You got to keep on, keep on, keep on
You go tot keep on dancin'... Doin' the Poor
Boy Shuffle
