You put your [right leg] in,
You take your [right leg] out;
You put your [right leg] in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!
[오른쪽 다리]를 넣고,
[오른쪽 다리]를 빼요.
[오른쪽 다리]를 다시 넣고,
마구 흔들어요.
호키 포키를 하고,
몸을 한 바퀴 돌려요.
그게 전부예요!
You put your [right leg] in,
You take your [right leg] out;
You put your [right leg] in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!
