It started in roanoke a little whiles ago

A friend knew a dance that you ought to know

They call it flat footin' and it sure looks fine

Right now it's flat footin' it time



And you'll be flat footin' it, flat gettin' it

You don't know just how good it is until you hear that guitar pickin' it, pick it



Just let your arms hang right where they are

Then you'll start flat footin' it ? to the bar

Turn yourself loose all the law will allow

And you're doing that flat footin' it now



You'll be flat footin' it, flat gettin' it

You don't know just how good it is until you hear that drummer pickin' it, pick it



It started in roanoke and came a long way

Now it's a flat footin' it usa

Good for your spirits and good for your health

You oughta try a little flat footin' yourself



And you'll be flat footin' it, flat gettin' it

You don't know just how good it is until you hear that bass fiddle pickin' it, pick it



Well, all of the students at the university

Shocked and amazed the existing faculty

Some dropped biology and some cut their math

To enroll in a flat footin' it class



Flat footin' it, flat gettin' it

You don't know just how good it is until you hear that band a' pickin' it, pick it
