Note: Listen carefully to the words every time you get to this point, feel free to add your own interpretation (hands on hips, tip your hat) whatever!

** Note: Once again, do what feels comfortable here! Use your imagination and most of all HAVE FUN!!!

The last and final Note: There are 2 times in the song that an instrumental section is played. At the end of each instrumental section there is a 16 beat music lick. Each time you get to this you will do toe, heel rambles....they will begin traveling to right with heels, toes, heels, toes then to left with toes, heels, toes, heels & repeat sequence. After the first instrumental you will dance the entire dance 2 times through. After the 2nd complete time you will do the last 16 steps of the original dance 1 more time....they sing "She's got my number, she knows all my tricks" 2 times....It’s much easier then this sounds; just listen carefully to the music.
