Boogaloo
(this song is best sung while everyone is standing in a circle stomping their feet... and VERY LOUD!!)

(leader) Let me see you boogaloo!
(everyone) SAY WHAT? (or: WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?)
(leader) Let me see you boogaloo!
(everyone) SAY WHAT? (or: WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?)
(leader) Let me see you boogaloo...
(everyone) We go: booga, booga, boogaloo! Booga, booga, boogaloo!
