6 6 6 6 6 -5 3
There’s a dance called Wa-tu-si
3 5 5 5
it’s out of sight,
6 6 6 6 6 -5 3 3 5 5 5
First you slide to the left then to the right.
3 6 6 5 3 5 3 5 -5
The Wa-tu-si is out of sight,
3 6 6 5 -5 5 5 5 3
You slide to the left, then to the right.
6 -6 -6 -5* 5 -6 -6 -5*
Take two steps up and keep it tight.
3 6 6 6 6 5 5 -5 5 5 3
And do the Wa-tu-si, it sure is a sight.
6 -6 7 7 7 7
Come, on try, sug-ar pie,
-6 -6 -6 -5* 3 -5*-5* -5
Keep with the beat and Wa-tu-si,
5 -5* 5 5 5
Wa-tu-si with me.
6 6 6 6 5 3 5 3 5 -5
Shim-my and should-er and slop with your feet,
3 6 6 6 -5 5 5 5 5 3
And wig-gle your hips in time with the beat,
6 6 6 -6 -6 -5* -5*
You do the Bow and Ar-row,
5 -6 -6 -6 -5*
come out of the Horse,
3 6 6 6 5
And Pig-my Shuf-fle,
5 5 -5 5 3
when you take your choice.

6 5 5 3 5 3 5 -5
Don’t stop now, I’m real-ly not thru,
5 8 5 -3 5 5 -3 5 5 5
There’s so man-y more steps that you can do,
6 6 -6 -6 -6 -5*
Well the Dish Rag, the Stiff,
5 6 -6 -5*
The Big Boy Pete,
3 6 6 6 6 5 5 5
The Dou-ble Wa-tu-si, hon-ey,

5 8 5 5 5
Wa-tu-si with me.
