Ike Turner If song lyrics

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...
