Translation of the song lyrics Land of 1000 Dances - Wilson Pickett Jr.

Land of 1000 Dances (original)

One, two, three!
One, two, three!
You gotta know how to pony like Bony Maronie
Mashed Potato, do the Alligator
Put your hands on your hips, let your back-bone slip
Do the Watusi, like my little Lucy
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na.
Need somebody to help me say it one time
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na.
You know I feel alright.
Feel pretty good y’all.
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na.
Need somebody to help me say it one time
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na, na na na, na na na na.
Dance with me honey, like Long Tall Sally
Twistin' with Lucy, doin the Watusi
Gotta hold of your back, I like it like that
Do the Jerk, watch me work
Ah, do it!

(translation)

One, two, three!
One, two, three!
You gotta know how to pony like Bony Maronie
Mashed Potato, for the Alligator
Put your hands on your hips, let your back-bone slip
To the Watusi, like my little Lucy
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Need somebody to help me say it one time
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
You know I feel alright.
Feel pretty good y'all.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Need somebody to help me say it one time
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Dance with me honey, like Long Tall Sally
Twistin' with Lucy, doin the Watusi
Gotta hold of your back, I like it like that
Do the Jerk, watch me work
Ah, your it!
