Footstompin’ Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
(Boom-boom-boom-boom)
Everybody young and old (yeah)
Learns how to rock n' roll (yeah)
Listen, here's something new
Everybody's jumping to
[Chorus]
(C'mon)
Foot stompin', foot stompin', foot stompin'
Foot stompin', foot stompin', foot stompin'
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)
Foot stompin', foot stompin', foot stompin'
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)
Foot-stompin', a good time
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)
[Verse 2]
No wondering and a-guessin' (boom, boom)
Don't need dancing lessons (boom, boom)
Listen to the jerky beat
Shake your head and stomp your feet
[Chorus]
(C'mon)
Foot stompin', foot stompin', foot stompin'
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)
Foot stompin', foot stompin', foot stompin'

Foot stompin', foot stompin', foot stompin'
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)
Foot-stompin', a good time
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)
[Verse 3]
People just the other day (boom, boom)
Taught it to my sister, Mae (boom, boom)
Bad leg, Mr. Blue
Can do the foot stompin', too
[Chorus]
(C'mon)
Foot stompin', foot stompin', foot stompin'
(Boom, boom, boom, boom)
Foot stompin', foot stompin', foot stompin'

Meet me at the dance hall (Yeah)
We're gonna have a ball
Sure cure for a corn
Forlorn reborn
