(Divide your group into sections, each one takes a different verse. Imagine you're building up the sounds of one of those old-fashion steam driven carousels!)

Oom-pah-pah (Four times, then add #2)

(this is the engine running the carousel)

Oom-sss-sss (Four times, then add #3)

(this is the steam from the engine)

Oom-tiddle-dee-dee (Four times, then add #4)

(these are the penny whistles)

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

(this is the organ)

(Groups are phased out in reverse order)
