I've made a list of all the dances in this song
I've made a list so that I'd never sing them wrong.
'Cause it's hard to remember
and easy to forget
a list that is sixteen dances long.

You do...
The tall
The small
The hop
The stop
The slow
The tiptoe
The curl
The twirl
The hide
The slide
The sleep
The creep
The slump
The jump
The sway
The stay

We've done dances like the tiptoe and the hop.
We've done them but it's still not time to stop.
'Cause though we danced it one time
the list would seem brand new
if we read it from the bottom to the top.
