Barbara from Florida, United States
Put your left foot forward and you shake it all about! (first thing that came to mind)
Hilarious timing on this, Lorraine. That goose has attitude.
Now try to get that song out of your mind today.
You put your left foot in,
You put your left foot out;
You put your left foot in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the Hokey-Pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
7 May 2009 2:08pm
@Barbara: Ok that totally cracked me up Barb, oh guess what song's going to be stuck in my head now lol
@Eleftheria: Thanks :)
