There's a dance that you all should know
It's the swingingest thing that has hit the floor
First you put your foot out, and then you slowly bring it back
(And then you put your little hand on your partner's back)
Well, listen... do the Sputnik
Well, come on pretty baby do the Sputnik
Well, you can learn to do it almost right away
It's a swingin' dance that is here to stay
Come on pretty baby you can learn it, don't mean maybe
Come, come on baby do the Sputnik
Well listen don't you know it's easy to learn
All you gotta do is twist, and turn
Don't you know it's all over the land
Come on pretty baby let's shake the hand
Come on don't deny it you can learn it if you try it
Come, come on baby do the Sputnik
You know it started out in outer space
The Martians used to do it with a lot of grace
It traveled all over the universe
(And now it's on a planet, the planet Earth)
[Bridge]
Well [?] started was a real cool thing
And then it went to Venus and began to swing
It traveled on down to Mercury
(And now it's down to Earth, where it outta be)
Well come on pretty baby do the Sputnik
