Now, there’s to be an official ball tonight and we’re all going to do that new dance, the Spanish Panic!  
The basic step is:  
Flip your skirt, Open Close right, right, right  
Its like the magic step only forwards.  
Now let’s all try it!  
Take partners, please.

You put your right foot in  
You take your right foot out  
You put your right foot in  
And you shake it all about  
You do the hokey pokey

It’s just a jump to the left,  
And then a step to the ri-i-i-ight.  
Put your hands on your hips,  
And pull you knees in tight.
