Barefootin' Lyrics
Everybody get on your feet
You make me nervous when you in your seat
Take off your shoes and pat your feet
We're doin' a dance that can't be beat
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
Went to a party the other night
Long tall Sally was out of sight
Threw way her wig, and her high sneakers too
She did a dance without any shoes
She was barefootin', she was barefootin'
She was barefootin', she was barefootin'
Hey, little gal with the red dress on
I bet you can barefoot all night long
Take off your shoes and throw them away
Come back and get them another day
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
Every body take of your shoes, gonna dance with it
Lil John Henry he said to Sue,
If I was barefootin' would you barefoot too
Sue told John, "I'm thirty two,
I've been barefootin' ever since I was two
We barefootin' we barefootin'
We barefootin' we barefootin'
Every body take of your shoes, gonna dance with it
We barefootin' we barefootin'
We barefootin' we barefootin'
We barefootin' we barefootin'
You make me nervous when you in your seat
Take off your shoes and pat your feet
We're doin' a dance that can't be beat
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
Long tall Sally was out of sight
Threw way her wig, and her high sneakers too
She did a dance without any shoes
She was barefootin', she was barefootin'
I bet you can barefoot all night long
Take off your shoes and throw them away
Come back and get them another day
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
We're barefootin', we're barefootin'
Every body take of your shoes, gonna dance with it
If I was barefootin' would you barefoot too
Sue told John, "I'm thirty two,
I've been barefootin' ever since I was two
We barefootin' we barefootin'
Every body take of your shoes, gonna dance with it
We barefootin' we barefootin'
We barefootin' we barefootin'
We barefootin' we barefootin'

song says please dance
This song has a much deeper meaning than just "get up and dance"! This is a song from the black community to the black community durring the rise of the great industrial era of post WW2. This was a call to the more afluent northern black people to reach out to their poorer southern people (the barefoot" south share cropper) to get them to join the northern blacks in the prosperity of the growing nation and step away from the Jim Crow south!
