You stretch out your little hand to every woman, kid, and man, and you shake it up and down. How'd you do? How'd you do?
And you shake it up and down. How'd you do?
How'd you hee-jee? How'd you hoe-jee? How's-a-do, sa-doodle-doo? How'd you do, sa-doodle-doo?
How'd you do? How'd you do? How's-a-do, sa-doodle-doo-jee? How'd you do?
When I walk in our door, you come a-patter across the floor, and you shake it up and down. How'd you do? How'd you do?
And you shake it up and down. How'd you do?
On my sidewalk and my street, everybody that we meet, you shake it up and down. How'd you do? How'd you do?
And you shake it up and down. How'd you do?
And when you jump up out of bed, out the window goes your head, and you shake it up and down. How'd you do? How'd you do?
And you shake it up and down. How'd you do?
I feel glad when you feel good, you cheer up my neighborhood, shaking hands with everybody. How'd you do? How'd you do?
Shaking hands with everybody. How'd you do?
How'd you do? How'd you do, sa-doodle-doo? How'd you do?
How'd you hee-jee? How'd you hoe-jee? Hoe-jee, how's-a-doodle-doo? How'd you do, sa-doodle-doo-jee? How'd you do?
