Lyrics

Everybody young and old
Learns how to rock 'n roll
Listen to something new
Everybody sure can do

CHORUS
  Footstompin', footstompin', footstompin', footstompin'
    (footstompin', footstompin', footstompin')
  Footstompin'
  All of the time

Even just the other day
Taught it to my sister May
Red haired Mr Blue sure can do that stomping too

CHORUS

Wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate
Well she can shimmy like a jelly on a plate
All the girls are I can do it
I can do it yeah
Oooh

Everybody in the neighbourhood
Knows I can shimmy, shimmy good
I won't be an angel so I ought to be
East going west, I go the west
  
Meet me at the dance hall
We're going to have a ball
Show cure all you want
Forlorn
Reborn

CHORUS

Footstompin'
All of the time
