lyrics

A.
You put your right hand in, you put your left hand in
You grab the hand that's offered and that's how it all begins
You swing your partner round and do it all again
That's what it's all about

You put your left foot in, you put your right foot in
You dance as though you mean it and you share a little grin
A little hanky panky and you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about

B.
Cuz we are daanncin, dancin with each other
And we are siingin, singin for the pleasure
Exercising right,
Exercising left
Doin what we want to do
To swing around together

(Instrumental break)

A.
You raise your right hand up
You raise your left hand up
You stand for your beliefs
When you need to stand up
You look and find each other
And you nod and gather round
That's what it's all about

You're marchin toward the light and you're singing with your kin
You get knocked down and you do it all again
You shake yourself off and look yourself around
That's what it's all about

B.
Cause we are maarrching
There for one another
Holding haannds, singin with each other
Exercising rights
Exercising lefts
Following the footsteps
With our sisters and brothers

(Instrumental break)

(Repeat last verse and chorus)

(Chanted)
You get beat down and you don't give in
You get beat down, that's how it all begins
Exercise your lefts, exercise your rights
That's what it's all about
That's right
That's what it's all about
Uh-huh
That's whaaat it's alll a-bout

Stephen Scholle Hartsdale, New York

Picked up guitar in 1967. Began writing songs in 09 after a breakup. TY to Fred Gillen, Burr Johnson, Peter Calo and the Ashokan music community for supporting my passion. I write from the chord voicings and I write from the voice inside. Some songs channel moments. Sometimes words just sound good. I like to let the song speak and I like to work with others on that. If you'd like, get in touch. ... more
