It’s Okey-Dokey to play the Hokey Pokey in Cahokia Poem
You cannot play the Oompa-pah in Galaxy Andromeda.
You cannot do the Can-can in Afghanistan.
You cannot play ping-pong while sounding a gong.
You cannot tick a tock when your name’s Mum to tick-a-lock.
Gainsay or naysay to play the Cha-Cha in Panama.
Nix beatnik tricks playing Second Fiddle doing a Paradiddle.
Try not to play off-key when you know you have bats in your belfry.
But it is Okey-Dokey to play the Hokey Pokey in Cahokia.
