Everybody get on your feet
You make me nervous when you're in your seat
Take off your shoes and pat your feet
We're doin' a dance that can't be beat
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'

Went to a party the other night
Long Tall Sally was out of sight
Threw 'way her wig, and her high sneakers, too
She was doin' a dance without any shoes
She was barefootin', she was barefootin'
She was barefootin', she was barefootin'

Hey, little girl with your red dress on
I bet you can barefoot all night long
Take off your shoes and throw 'em away
Come back and get 'em another day
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'

Everybody, get barefooted
Take off your shoes!

Li'l John Henry he said to Sue
"If I was barefootin' would you barefoot, too?"
Sue told John, "I'm thirty-two
I was barefootin' ever since I was two"
They was barefootin', they was barefootin'
They was barefootin', we barefootin'

We barefootin', we barefootin'
Ah-hah!
We barefootin', we barefootin'
We barefootin', we barefootin'
We don't have no shoes on
We barefootin', we barefootin'
