*NB: When dance starts for the first time, do Parts 1 -11, drop Parts 12 & 13,
Add 8 Count TAG*, then dance Part 14. Continue dancing Parts 1 – 14 until the
music fades (at 2:47). You’ll be facing 6 o’clock Wall then, having just finished
Part 14, so you can ADD Part 7 (Two slow ¼ turns) to end facing Front Wall.

Don’t read further, if you do not want to do any more steps! If you do, after facing the
Front with Part 7, there’s 48 more counts of softer music with talking going on, then
the song picks up volume again (at 3:14) with the words “Once there was a little old
man” allowing you to dance Parts 1-14 one more time, starting on the word “once”
and ending again on the Back Wall, as the music slows down, so then ADD Part 7
once more, to end facing the Front Wall.
Now during those extra 48 counts (at 2:58) you can FREESTYLE DANCE until the
Vocals start again OR you can dance these 16 counts three times!
1- 4Tap R toe forward, then step R, Tap L toe forward then step L,
5- 8Repeat those 4 counts. (shake your hands at shoulder height for all 8 counts)
9- 12Walk back R, L, R, L 13-16 Sway hips R, L, R, L
At 3:14, on Vocals, start Part 1 and dance it until the end of Part 14 & then add Part 7
to face front wall. THE END (I promise!)
