Can anybody explain this to me? The Hokey Pokey Shakespearean Style. O proud left foot, that ventures quick within. Then soon upon a backward journey lithe. Anon, once more the gesture, then begin; Command sinistral pedestal to writhe. Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke. A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl. Blessed dervish! Surely canst go girl. The Hoke, the poke-banish now thy doubt. Verily, I say, “Tis what it is all about”. Grammarly.com

The Hokey Pokey You put your right hand in, You put your right hand out, You put your right hand in, And you shake it all about, You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around That what it's all about. 2) left hand 3) right foot 4) left foot 5) head 6) butt 7) whole self These are the words to the song. It's all in good fun and I will still see it danced at weddings every now and then because it's often danced in a groups. I'm from the rural midwest US so that may explain a lot.

the hokey pokey is an old song describing a dance and this is a description of the dance written as if it was written in the time of Shakespeare. a dumb attempt at humor i guess. Not even native english speakers speak like that anymore so even we have difficulty trying to understand what they're saying.

The Hokey Pokey is a song and dance for young children. It is fun but also teaches them about basic body parts like foot and hand and also left and right. What you posted is The Hokey Pokey as if William Shakespeare had written it. :)
