Hi hi hi, low low low
Hey hey hey, quick quick slow
Here's a brand new dance
I'll tell you how it's done
It's a little unusual
And not much fun
It's not like the bump
It's not like the hustle
And it'll never never never
Be filmed by Ken Russell

It's the hard to get, hard to get
Everybody's doin' the hard to get
Hard to get, hard to get
Everybody's doin' the hard to get

It's easy to do
You soon get the knack
You just shrug your shoulders and turn your back!

And do the hard to get, hard to get
Everybody's doin' the hard to get
Hard to get, hard to get
Everybody's doin' the hard to get

Keep your distance
Keep your cool
Let no one come near you
That's the golden rule
HARD TO GET!

Hi hi hi, low low low
Hey hey hey, quick quick slow

You just groove around
When you do this dance
You don't give no one
A second glance
But sure as X is X
And there are stars up above
The hard to get
Is a dance of love

So do the hard to get, hard to get
Everybody's doin' the hard to get
Hard to get, hard to get
Everybody's doin' the hard to get

It's easy to do
You soon get the knack
You just shrug your shoulders and turn your back!

And do the hard to get, hard to get
Everybody's doin' the hard to get
Hard to get, hard to get
Everybody's doin' the hard to get

Be unapproachable! Remain aloof!
Pass the time of day with no one!
Be on your own!
HARD TO GET!

Hard to get, hard to get
Everybody's doin' the hard to get
