Everybody had a dance song in those days that just described how to do a dance they made up.
This one follows the standard formula, including opening by alluding to existing dance styles.
[Intro]
Now everybody's Twisting and The Pony too
But I've got a dance called The Tinaroo
[Verse 1]
You take two steps forward and two steps back
And then you start a little moving in your sacroiliac
And then you clap your hands and you stomp your feet
You steal around and you jump with the beat
Everybody's doing The Tinaroo
It's really something different and it's easy to do
[Verse 1]
You take two steps forward and two steps back
And then you start a little moving in your sacroiliac
And then you clap your hands and you stomp your feet
You steal around and you jump with the beat
Everybody's doing The Tinaroo
It's really something different and it's easy to do
[Bridge]
Doing this dance is really in style
It's really something different and really wild
[Verse 1]
You take two steps forward and two steps back
And then you start a little moving in your sacroiliac
And then you clap your hands and you stomp your feet
You steal around and you jump with the beat
Everybody's doing The Tinaroo
It's really something different and it's easy to do
Come on, get with it now
Ah yeah
