Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe
You hop a little on your right one too
You kick a button like the Scotch kids do
That's the Hop Scotch Polka

Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe
You hop a little on your right one too
You don't mind boucin' like a kangaroo
To the Hop Scotch Polka

It's in and out among the maple trees
It's up and down and then you wave your knees
Your head goes boppin' in the morning breeze
To the Hop Scotch Polka

Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe
You hop a little on your right one too
You kick a button like the Scotch kids do
That's the Hop Scotch Polka

-Instrumental Break-

Oh, you hop a little on your little left shoe
You hop a little on your right one too
You kick a button like the Scotch kids do
That's the Hop Scotch Polka

-Instrumental Break-

Hop, hop, hop-pity
Hip, hip, hip-pity
Hap, hap, happily on your way

Hop, hop, hop-pity
Hip, hip, hip-pity
Hop to the Hop Scotch Polka
