Lyrics
Follow the leader single file.
Follow the leader Indian-style.
Follow the leader many a mile.
Chase me round this boogie woogie town.
Follow me in. Follow me out.
Over, under and round about.
Follow me up. Follow me down.
Chase me round this boogie woogie town.
Follow the leader round two trees.
Then through the fence we'll have to squeeze.
Into the culvert on your knees.
Chase me round this boogie woogie town.
Over the creek we'll splish and splash.
Past Preacher Herman's house we'll dash.
Into the wood chip pile we'll crash.
Chase me round this boogie woogie town.
Cho.
Snake through the school bus parking lot.
Zip through the graveyard like a shot,
Down to our favorite swimming spot,
Chase me round this boogie woogie town.
Cho.
