It's not too good to be alone,
Iron sharpens iron, don't you know'
You lead, I'll follow - this could all change tomorrow,
Let me slip on through your fingers,
Take my hand, we're arm in arm and toe to toe,
We'll keep this all from being touch and go.

So swing your partner 'round and 'round,
Dosey the doe,
Put one foot in and one foot out,
Hokey the poke.

A chord or two, or three, won't break so easy,
Promenade, shuffle, step ball change,
Five, six, seven, eight, don't mean a thing if you ain't got it,
Keep that swing, let's stay together,
It's more easy than dancing, it's forever,
Let's take another spin along the floor.

So swing your partner 'round and 'round,
Dosey the doe,
Put one foot in and one foot out,
Hokey the poke.

So swing your partner 'round and 'round,
Dosey the doe,
Put one foot in and one foot out,
Hokey the poke.

We'll never make this on our own,
Two to tango or to waltz,
Let's have a ball and trip the light fantastic,
Don't you know the band is playing our song'
So sing along - what on earth are you waiting for'
You got to get up.

So swing your partner 'round and 'round,
Dosey the doe,
Put one foot in and one foot out,
Hokey the poke,
So swing your partner 'round and 'round,
Dosey the doe,
Put one foot in and one foot out,
Hokey the poke.
