We did three takes, all of them different, and they took the first take and released it.' Legacy It just blew everybody away, and actually, I wanted it taken off the record. I was just goofing around and counted off in Tex-Mex. According to Sam: 'The count down part of the song was also not planned. Sam the Sham underscores the Tex-Mex nature of the song by counting out the rhythm in Spanish and English ('Uno! Dos! One, two, tres, cuatro!'), and the characteristic simple organ riffing, with a tenor saxophone solo in the middle. The warning, 'Let's not be L-7', means 'Let's not be square', from the shape formed by the fingers making an L on one hand and a 7 on the other. The lyrics describe a conversation between 'Mattie' and 'Hattie' concerning the 'Wooly Bully' (a creature which Mattie describes as 'a thing she saw had two big horns and a wooly jaw' that is, an American Bison) and the desirability of developing dancing skills, although no attempt is made to synthesize these divergent topics.

The lyrics of 'Wooly Bully' were hard to understand, and some radio stations banned the song. Sam retained the 'watch it, watch it now' refrain from the original version. The song was given the green light after Sam rewrote the lyrics replacing 'Hully Gully' with 'Wooly Bully' and few additional lyrical changes.
