(Freely spoken to Fm-Fm7-Cm-Ab)
People of the world!
The time has come...
to tie this knot once and for all!
Bonitas
Show me the ropes!
On every dance floor across the world
Let's do the Trucker's Hitch
Are you ready?
Let's tie this knot!
NC or Cm7/Ab
Tie, tie, tie, tie, tie
This is how you do it!
Fm
Bring it up
Check the rope
Spin around
On the neck
Whip it, whip it
Take it home
Bring it up, split it now
Shoulder, now, make a loop
Pull it, feed it, push it through
Up, stretch, down again
In the face and prepare
Lift, pull, bring it round
Thigh, tie, tighten tie
Kick the heel
Swivel time
Round, round, back to knot
C'mon!
Pull the loop
Down and through
Pull again
Lift the hand
Through the loop
Make a stitch
Now you got your Trucker's Hitch!
