Land Of 1000 Dances Lyrics

One two three, one two three
Ow! Uh! Alright! Uh!
I got to know how to PONY, like BONEY MARONEY
Mash potato, do the alligator
Put your hand on your hips ya
Get you backbone slip
Do the watootsie, like my little Lucy, hey!

Uh! Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na
I need somebody to help me say it one time
(( Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na )) Wow!

Wow! Uh! You know I feel alright! Huh! I feel pretty good y'all Uh! Huh!
Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na
Come on you-all let's say it one more time
(( Na na-na-na-na na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na-na-na )) Ow!

Playing, it is a habit
With long tall Sally
Twisting with Lucy
Doing the watootsie
Roll over on your back
I like it like that
Do that jerko
Watch me work you-all
Ow! Do it!
Wow! Do it!
Just watch me do it
Ah help me
Ah help me
Ah help me
Ah help me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Love it. Love to make up dance moves. Love to laugh at the inflection of "the mashed porato". Love the horns. And the "oowwws" and "uhhhs". Love Love Love Love Love Love.
