Lyrics by Mark Weltner. This is to the melody of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” (glory glory hallelujah…). Of course, we stand up and do the motions, too:
I shampoo my hair sitting in a rocking chair (3x)
Until it’s squeaky clean. rock body back and forth while “shampooing” hair
I look for alligators while I’m on the elevator (3x)
I hope they get on later. open & close arms while bending knees up/down
I stir the stew while I do the hula hoop (3x)
Until it comes out smooth. “stir pot” with hands while swiveling hips
After a few classes, I mix them up, e.g., I shampoo my hair while I do the hula hoop! — but don’t tell!
