Have you heard about the new thing
That's sweeping the country?
It's the reason for the cool jerk
The reason for the monkey
Come on girl, you know there's really nothin' to it
Shake your tail feather now, I'll show you how to do it
Everybody's doin' it
The soul searchin' baby
I wanna tell you people
About this groovy fad now
You better get yourself together
Don't you let it drag now
And now I'm gonna show you what I got in mind
I'm soul searchin', baby, and I'm right on time, yeah
Everybody's doin' it
The soul searchin' baby
See that man standin' over there now
I dared the cat to stick with me
He say that he can burn my feet now
That day the man will never see
Everybody's doin' it
The soul searchin' baby
Now you heard about the new thing
That's sweeping the country
It's the reason for the cool jerk
The reason for the monkey
Come on girl, you know there's really nothin' to it
Shake your tail feather now, I'll show you how to do it
Everybody's doin' it
The soul searchin' baby
The soul searchin' baby
Hey hey hey now
The soul searchin' baby
Hey, alright
A little soul searchin' baby
