E The boys and the girls are all dancing around Dancing all night to the crazy sound A It's the newest thing to hit this land E The boys and the girls are holding hands CGDAE I said go buddy go buddy go buddy go buddy go go go!
E I'm with my friend Bob having a good time I got me some speed and I'm doing fine A But Bob he's not dancing, saying no sir-ee E He's got a lazy eye on a little lady CGDAE I said go buddy go buddy go buddy go buddy go go go! CGDAE I said go buddy go buddy go buddy go buddy go go go!
