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, Huckle-Buck, real strong dance
Come on and take my hand
Come on and Huckle-Buck with me, 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, 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
Huckle-Buck, y'all
Huckle-Buck, na-na-na

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 city, Windy City, they call it
Going to do the Huckle-Buck now, now
Everybodys 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
Huckle-Buck, now
Let me show you how to do it
Jump back, jump up
Jump back, jump up-up-up-up
Huckle-Buck, now
