Nikki Hokey / Barefootin’ (Live) Lyrics

[Nikki Hokey]

[Intro]
Down in Louisiana
Down in Cajun land
Folks got somethin' goin'
Goes somethin' like

[Verse 1]
Folks, come and gitcha tootsie
I wants to t'tie ya puppe'tame
Gonna dig ya on a scooby-doo
Gonna gitcha on a scooby-die
Ooh-boog-a-boo you
Ooh-boog-a-boo you, little boy
Get hip to the consultation of the boola-wee
Um-hmm-mm, um

[Verse 2]
Golly, golly Miss Molly
Ev'rything's copasetic, now
Boo-boo, look at you
What I'd like to do to you, boy
Ooh-boog-a-boo you
Ooh-boog-a-boo you, little boy
Get hip to the consultation of the boola-wee
Um-hmm, um-hmm
[Barefootin']

[Verse 1]
Ev'rybody, get on your feet
You make me nervous when you're in your seat
Take off your shoes and tap your feet
We'll do the dance that can't be beat

[Chorus]
We're barefootin' (Barefootin')
We're barefootin' (Barefootin')
Barefootin'
Barefootin'

[Verse 2]
We threw a party the other night
Long John Baldy was out of sight
Threw away his wig and his sneakers, too
He's doin' the dance without any shoes

[Chorus]
Barefootin' (Barefootin')
Barefootin' (Barefootin')
Barefootin'
Barefootin'
[Nikki Hokey]

[Verse 3]
Niki, Niki, Niki Hoeky
Your pappy's doin' time in the pokey
Your sister's on a trip
Your momma got hip
Little boy, you're lookin' okay
Ooh-boog-a-boo you
Ooh-boog-a-boo you, little boy
Get hip to the consultation of the boola-wee

[Bridge]
I'm talkin' 'bout your boola, ah-ha-ah
I'm talkin' 'bout that wee
I'm talkin' 'bout your boola, ah-ha-ah
I'm talkin' 'bout that wee
Well, get hip to the consultation of the boola-wee

[Outro]
(Niki, Niki, Niki Hokey)
(Niki, Niki, Niki Hokey) Niki, Niki, Niki
(Niki, Niki, Niki Hokey) Niki, Niki, Niki Hokey

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
