Steve Allen's original lyrics are classic and perfect, of course. These words were shifted to "You're out at a discotheque or doing the Freddie (a 60's dance)" This particular arrangement (with lyric changes intact) came from a 1966 television show called Hullabaloo as performed by Sammy Davis Jr. I'm not defending it -- just answering your question. I think that Allen's lyrics may have been "You're walking along the street or you're at a party".

What are the beginning lyrics saying? It sounds like "You're driving a tank, you're doing the freddie..." Anyone know the entire lyrics to this take on Steve Allen's theme song? I want to post this on a veteran forum as a spoof on getting involved in Libya.

they should have left the original lyrics ... they're much more clever

Yes -- Thank you. That was the point. The arrange is actually from the late 1960's and the concept was to create something that looked of that era. Of course, this was not meant to be novel or funny, but authentic to late 60's television choreo. Thanks for the compliment. MWeaver
