Casey is an old man who wants to be a teen
He goes to all the dances and they call him cha-cha King
He cha-cha's when the band is playin' rock and roll
He tries to keep in time but the beat leaves him cold

Because he's too pooped to pop, too old a soul 
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do this stroll 
And every time his feet get to go in one way  [bad word] a new dance and it's goin' to stray

Chicks told Casey, you better move man 
This is only a one night stand 
Casey wasn't in time but he was dancin' awhile 
Till a cramp caught his leg and he had to change his style

Because he's too pooped to pop, too old a soul 
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do this stroll 
And every time his feet get to go in one way [bad word] a new dance and it's goin' to stray

Because he's too pooped to pop, too old a soul 
Hips gettin' weaker when he tries to do this stroll 
And every time his feet get to go in one way  [bad word] a new dance and it's goin' to stray

Casey finally learned to do the hoochie koo 
This might have been fine back in '22 
Now, I'm gonna give you fellows just a little tip
If you wanna keep your girl you'll better get hip

Or, you'll be too pooped to pop, too old a soul 
You hips are gettin' weaker when you'll try to do the stroll And every time your feet gettin' to go in one way  [bad word] a new dance you'll be left to stray
