Do the Do
Dance of Love: Howlin' Wolf's Irresistible 'Do the Do' Groove
Lyrics
Well I know
Expressing awareness or confidence in a situation
I've got a babe
Acknowledging the presence of a romantic partner
And I know her
Affirming knowledge and sincerity about the partner's love
Love is true
Emphasizing the authenticity of the love relationship
But you ain't seen nothing
Suggesting that there are extraordinary qualities to witness
'Til you see her, see her
Encouraging observation of the partner's unique qualities
Do the do
Introducing the concept of "doing the do," possibly a dance or action
Do the do
Repeating the call to "do the do"
Shake her shoulder
Suggesting a physical interaction by shaking the partner's shoulder
Take her time
Encouraging a patient approach to the interaction
Mover her body
Describing movement of the partner's body, possibly dancing
Like I move mine
Comparing the singer's movement to that of the partner
When she's dancing
Highlighting the enjoyable nature of the partner's dancing
You'll love her too
Suggesting that observers will also appreciate the partner's dance
When you see her
Reiterating the invitation to witness the partner's actions
Do the do
Repeating the call to "do the do"
Do the do
Reiterating the call to "do the do"
34 bust
Providing physical measurements of the partner
22 waist
Further describing the partner's physical attributes
Everything
Indicating the partner's overall attractiveness
Right in place
Emphasizing the partner's well-proportioned physique
Cool disposition
Describing the partner's calm and collected demeanor
Love her too
Reinforcing the singer's love for the partner
When you see her
Reiterating the invitation to witness the partner's actions
Do the do
Repeating the call to "do the do"
Do the do
Reiterating the call to "do the do"
Well, well there
Expressing enthusiasm about a unique experience
Ain't nothing like
Stressing the incomparable nature of the observed activity
When you see her
Reiterating the invitation to witness the partner's actions
Do the do
Repeating the call to "do the do"
Do the do
Reiterating the call to "do the do"
