The hokey cokey (United Kingdom), New Zealand, or hokey pokey (United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia, the Caribbean, ((Mexico))) is a participation dance with a distinctive accompanying tune and lyric structure. It is well known in English-speaking countries. It originates in a British folk dance, with variants attested as early as 1826. The song and accompanying dance peaked in popularity as a music hall song and novelty dance in the mid-1940s in Britain and Ireland. Then song was a chart hit twice in the 1980s - first by Snowmen which peaked at UK #18 in 1981, and then Black Lace who reached #31 in 1985.
Despite several claims of a recent invention, numerous variants of the song exist going back centuries. Some scholars found similar dances and lyrics dating back to the 17th century. One of the earlier variants, with a very similar dance to the modern one, is found in Robert Chambers' Popular Rhymes of Scotland from 1826; the words there are given as:

A nursery rhyme is a traditional poem or song for young children in Britain and many other countries, but usage only dates from the late 18th /early 19th century. In North America the term Mother Goose Rhymes, introduced in the mid-18th century, is still often used.
The oldest children's songs of which we have records are lullabies, intended to help a child sleep. Lullabies can be found in every human culture. The English term lullaby is thought to come from "lu, lu" or "la la" sound made by mothers or nurses to calm children, and "by by" or "bye bye", either another lulling sound, or a term for good night. Until the modern era lullabies were usually only recorded incidentally in written sources. The Roman nurses' lullaby, "Lalla, Lalla, Lalla, aut dormi, aut lacta", is recorded in a scholium on Persius and may be the oldest to survive.
Many medieval English verses associated with the birth of Jesus take the form of a lullaby, including "Lullay, my liking, my dere son, my sweting" and may be versions of contemporary lullabies. However, most of those used today date from the 17th century. For example, a well known lullaby such as "Rock-a-bye, baby on a tree top", cannot be found in records until the late-18th century when it was printed by John Newbery (c. 1765).

The Hokey Pokey (La Prise-Macac-Baker) by Ray Anthony & his Orchestra, vocal by Jo Ann Greer & the Skyliners (CD audio source) Though not a best-selling "chart hit" at its time of release in early 1953, it's one that all the kids knew. And "The Hokey Pokey" remains among 1953's most recognizable and fondly-recalled record releases. Along with its predecessor, Anthony's late-1952 hit "Bunny Hop," https://youtu.be/RajWqQaq5dE the Hokey Pokey dance was long a regular feature of class reunion get-togethers, with Capitol making sure that the reissue recording remained in-print over the decades.
