Lyrics
Mighty pretty motion, toodala,
Toodala, toodala,
Mighty pretty motion, toodala,
Toodala-la lady.
“Toodala parties used to be held frequently in Texas. The dancing was usually outdoors; entire families came… Words were improvised during the dancing, which was in the manner of square dancing.”
