This may not be the song you have in mind, but it sounds like fun anyway:

BAREFOOTIN'
(Robert Parker, 1966.)

Everybody get on your feet.
You make me nervous when you in your seat.
Take off your shoes and pat your feet.
We're doin' a dance that can't be beat.
We're barefootin'. We're barefootin'.
We're barefootin'. We're barefootin'.

Went to a party the other night.
Long Tall Sally was out of sight.
Threw 'way her wig and her high sneakers too.
She was doin' a dance without any shoes.
She was barefootin'. She was barefootin'.
She was barefootin'. She was barefootin'.

Hey, little gal with the red dress on,
I bet you can barefoot all night long.
Take off your shoes and throw them away.
Come back and get them another day.
We're barefootin'. We're barefootin'.
We're barefootin'. We're barefootin'.

Li'l John Henry he said to Sue,
"If I was barefootin', would you barefoot too?"
Sue told John, "I'm thirty-two.
I was barefootin' ever since I was two."
They was barefootin'. They was barefootin'.
They was barefootin'. We barefootin'.

We barefootin'. We barefootin'.
We barefootin'. We barefootin'.
We barefootin'. We barefootin'.
We don't have no shoes on.
