John McCutcheon Minnesota Boogie Lyrics

I read it in the papers
Just the other day
Another politician
Swearing, “I’m not gay!”
It’s the Minnesota Boogie
In the airport loo
Coming to a restroom
Right near you
Minnesota Boogie
Everybody Boogie, ya hey!

You put your left foot out
And you bring it on back
Put your right foot out
And then tap-tap-tap
Wave your hand
Underneath the wall
Say hello to the fellow
In the next-door stall
Minnesota Boogie
Everybody Boogie, ya hey!

I said, “You’re busted” You said, “Who me?
I guess I’ll enter
A guilty plea!”
Then people found out
And you wanna take it back
Now the voters in Idaho
Are giving you the sack
Minnesota Boogie
Everybody Boogie, ya hey!

I felt your foot
I saw your hand
It’s time that we talked it over
Man-to-man
You cast your votes
On the Senate floor
You go back to the closet
And bolt the door
And do the Minnesota Boogie
Everybody Boogie, ya hey!
