You know that our new dance
Will soon be goin' around
And in every city, Lord
And in every town

Come on, jerk, yeah
Let your backbone slip, baby
Move across the floor, baby
Hey, hey

Come on, baby
Move your hands
Let your backbone slip, baby
Hey, hey

Come on, jerk, baby
Move your hands
Let your backbone slip, baby
Hey, hey

Come on, baby
And get off that chair
If you can't do the jerk, baby
You gotta be square

Now put your hands on your hips
And let your backbone slip
You must be alert, baby
To do that jerk

Come on, jerk, baby
Hey, hey
Come one, do it, baby
Let your backbone slip, baby

Come on, jerk, baby
Hey, hey
