It started in roanoke a little whiles ago
A friend knew a dance that you ought to know
They call it flat footin and it sure looks fine
Right now its flat footin it time

And youll be flat footin it, flat gettin it
You dont know just how good it is until you hear that guitar pickin it, pick it

Just let your arms hang right where they are
Then youll start flat footin it ? to the bar
Turn yourself loose all the law will allow
And youre doing that flat footin it now

Youll be flat footin it, flat gettin it
You dont know just how good it is until you hear that drummer pickin it, pick it

It started in roanoke and came a long way
Now its a flat footin it usa
Good for your spirits and good for your health
You oughta try a little flat footin yourself

And youll be flat footin it, flat gettin it
You dont know just how good it is until you hear that bass fiddle pickin it, pick it

Well, all of the students at the university
Shocked and amazed the existing faculty
Some dropped biology and some cut their math
To enroll in a flat footin it class

Flat footin it, flat gettin it
You dont know just how good it is until you hear that band a pickin it, pick it
