One, two, three, four Five, six, seven, eight Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo... There's a dance from Africa That proved a boy a man They did it with a flaming pole From Africa to Virgin Isle And on to USA You simply take a bamboo pole And then you're on your way Hey, hey, hey Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo... First you set the pole About three feet Then you wait for the band To strike up the beat Then you bend over backwards With your hands off the ground And you inch your way under To the? sound Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo... Hey, hey, hey... Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo... Now you've heard of The Limbo dance The rest is up to you You simply take a bamboo pole And you know what to do Hey, hey, hey Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo Limbo, limbo, limbo, limbo... Ahhh, limbo
