Why?

Because that's what it's all about....

But seriously, please think before posting. We like getting lyrics, but we don't like getting lyrics just dumped on us. Use the filter at the top of the list of threads to see if there are previous threads on the song. Then check those threads. If you have a version that is substantially different, then please post it in one of the existing threads on the song - usually the "origins" thread is the best place.
Put the correct song title and the songwriter name above the lyrics, and the source information and background information below the lyrics. Unless you have a particular purpose for doing so, please don't post lyrics that you have copied from the Digital Tradition or mirrors of the Digital Tradition - the one exception would be to point out corrections that need to be made in the DT.

Probably the most extensive discussion of the Hokey Pokey / Hokey Cokey / Cokey Cokey is in this thread (click).

Thanks.
