A New Dance Explained - 'Behind Your Lovers Back'
clap your hands
behind each other's backs
whilst doing a double splits
while still down
and to the beat
hands on each other's shoulders
now push each other up
until your on your feet
repeat
clap your hands
behind each other's backs
whilst doing a double splits
while still down
and to the beat
hands on each other's shoulders
now push each other up
until your on your feet
one more time
clap your hands
behind each other's backs
whilst doing a double splits
while still down
and to the beat
hands on each other's shoulders
now push each other up
until your on your feet
and, no, you're done.
you've just split three times
in your lives
and pulled yourselves
back together now go home
and remember you've just danced
the dance of your lives
most folks split once
and don't survive
this dance 'behind your lovers back'
