The Dino Dance to the Hokey Pokey

You put your dino up, You put your dino down, You put your dino up, And you shake it all around
You do the Dino Dance-o And you turn yourself around. Stomp twice on the ground. Dino Dance-O

You put your dino in front, You put your dino in back, You put your dino in front, And you give your knees a slap

You touch your dino to your head, You touch your dino to your toe, You touch your dino to your head, Then you shake it to and fro.

You do the Dino Dance-O You do the Dino Dance-O You do the Dino Dance-O That's what it's all about. Dino Dance-O
