The Lyrics
Kotter’s up, back on the street,
Did his time, took his chances,
Kotter’s at school, Woodman’s back on the beat,
Four Sweathogs and his Woodman help thrive,
(Oh, who am I kidding? Just use the ‘tard anthem instead.)
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing)
That Kotter is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That Kotter is bound to get you,
Kotter, Kotter, Kotter, Kotter, Kotter...mmm...
(Shirley Lloyd)
Kotter Steps,
Start in to sing, then soon, you’ll be swinging,
Kotter Steps,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
Watch that Woodman putting the world on its feet,
Kotter Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Kotter Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, Epstein, Horshack, Vinnie,
Make those Kotter Steps!
(The Three Kays)
Kotter Steps,
Start in to sing, then soon, you’ll be swinging,
Kotter Steps,
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
Watch that Woodman putting the world on its feet,
Kotter Steps,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Kotter Steps,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Epstein, Horshack, Vinnie,
Make those Kotter Steps, whoa!
Kotter Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Kotter Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
One, two, three,
It’s a new sensation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
Watch that Woodman putting the world on its feet,
Kotter Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
Kotter Steps,
(instrumental call-back)
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,

Make those Kotter Steps, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!

Oh look, the resident retard has come back with yet another reprise of his favorite song ever onto the board. You would have been expelled from the Sweathogs back in Gabe Kotter’s class. Ever considering collecting paper bags as a hobby? If nothing else, you’d be better at that than you are at this.
Please remove this parody from the site.
Tardsy! You’re back! On behalf of the board, thanks for nothing. Gotta admit, I thought you had finally given up your geezer music obsession by finally parodying more recent songs, including the Edmund Fitzgerald number, but you ruined everybody’s Monday by posting yet another garbage variant of your ‘tard anthem. And how lame is it that you can’t change more than six words from this song before giving up and clicking Send? I wouldn’t doubt the Sweathogs could write something funnier. But then, when your parody source material comes from Gary McNamara’s phallus it’s bound to be skewed. Darrrrrrr.
Wow, great ploy. Betcha fooled everybody with that. I’ve never seen such a needy SOB in my life.
Thanks for your comments all.
