# MOONSHINE MOONWALK [Intro — Whispered, Playful] There's something moving out behind the shed... Aw, hell. That's just Uncle Fred. [Verse 1 — Bouncy Southern Rap] Pulled up sideways where the Spanish moss hangs Everybody out there acting half deranged Old straw hat with a crooked brim I saw that moon rise and I danced at him Got a left-foot shuffle and a right-foot slide Whole damn swamp coming alive tonight Auntie in the yard doing circles in the dirt Uncle fell down but he said he wasn't hurt Ain't nobody checking if the moves look clean We're the strangest little party that you've ever seen Tree frogs singing like they know our name And the fog rolled in when we started the game [Pre-Chorus — Sung, Building] One step forward, two steps back Throw them shoulders, let your whole body snap When the moon gets high and the air gets cold Everybody in the swamp loses self-control! [Chorus — Catchy Dance Hook] DO THE MOONSHINE MOONWALK! SLIDE TO THE LEFT, THEN STOMP THAT GROUND! DO THE MOONSHINE MOONWALK! TURN YOURSELF AROUND AND ROUND! KICK UP DIRT, LET YOUR BOOTS GO WILD DANCE LIKE A GROWN-UP REDNECK CHILD DO THE MOONSHINE MOONWALK! AIN'T NO SITTING WHEN THAT BEAT COMES DOWN! [Verse 2 — Rapid, Humorous Rap] Possum on the porch got a front-row seat Old hound dog bouncing to the crooked beat Grandma came out in her Sunday best Did one little shuffle, put the whole crowd to the test Somebody yelled, "Y'all watch this move!" Nearly lost a boot but he stayed in the groove Got the neighbors laughing, got the cousins spun Nobody remembers who was supposed to bring the buns Round that oak tree, shuffle through the haze We might be lost but we're having a day If you came here stiff, better loosen that frame When the bass starts talking, everybody plays! [Pre-Chorus — Rising Group Vocals] One step forward, two steps back Throw them shoulders, let your whole body snap When the moon gets high and the air gets cold Everybody in the swamp loses self-control! [Chorus — Full Party Energy] DO THE MOONSHINE MOONWALK! SLIDE TO THE LEFT, THEN STOMP THAT GROUND! DO THE MOONSHINE MOONWALK! TURN YOURSELF AROUND AND ROUND! KICK UP DIRT, LET YOUR BOOTS GO WILD DANCE LIKE A GROWN-UP REDNECK CHILD DO THE MOONSHINE MOONWALK! AIN'T NO SITTING WHEN THAT BEAT COMES DOWN! [Bridge — Beat Drops to Sub-Bass] Hold up! Freeze like a possum in a spotlight beam! Now shake that dirt off! Everybody scream! Left foot! Right foot! Back it up slow! Spin one time! Now GO, GO, GO! [Final Chorus — Crowd Call and Response] WHO'S OUT HERE? — WE ARE! HOW WE DANCE? — TOO FAR! WHAT WE DO? — MOONWALK! TURN IT UP! — DON'T STOP! DO THE MOONSHINE MOONWALK! SLIDE TO THE LEFT, THEN STOMP THAT GROUND! DO THE MOONSHINE MOONWALK! TURN YOURSELF AROUND AND ROUND! [Outro — Spoken, Laughing] If you wake up with mud on your boots... You did it right.
