If - Ike & Tina Turner

It used to be them good old days when records were long plays;

It used to be some good times when music made you feel like flyin'…

I remember the dances that the old folks left behind:

It was the chicken, the twist — the Hully Gully was a favorite of mine…

Well, if you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…

If you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…

Dancin' was somethin' I never ever thought I could do

But with the Hully Gully, I got the message right on cue;

I could shake my shoulders like a Honolulu woman do

But when they changed the dances, I could never quite follow through…

Well, if you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…

Said if you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…

Ow!

Yeah, if you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…

If you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…

I went to see Bo Diddley, and I took a fellow with me;

He thought I was a dancer, thought fo' sho' I was a prancer on the double…

He got out on the flo', did the breakdown, and turned around

But I was doing the Hully Gully, a-shakin' like a natural clown…

Said if you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…

If you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…

If you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…

If you can Hully Gully, I can Hully Gully too…
