1    Push R hip to R side slapping right butt with right hand

2    Hitch and slap left knee with the right hand

Place hands on hips and do three anticlockwise hip rolls slowing to a stop with the

music (or try two hip rolls and a body roll!).  Restart the dance when the music

recommences and keep dancing at the same pace to the end of the song.

*During the second half of the chorus on the words "me and you" replace the claps with

thumbs pointing towards yourself on "me" and fingers pointing forwards on "you".
