Here we go Zoodio, Zoodio, Zoodio Here we go Zoodio, All night long. Step back, Sally, Sally, Sally Step back, Sally All night long.

To the front to the back to the s-s-side, to the s-s-side To the front to the back to the s-s-side

I looked out my window and what did I see I saw a big fat man from Tennessee I bet you $5 I can beat that man I bet you $5 I can beat that man

To the front to the back to the s-s-side, to the s-s-side To the front to the back to the s-s-side

Walkin through the alley, alley, alley Walkin through the alley All night long.
