Do the Flap

"**Do the Flap**" is a Wiggles Experience song from the *10 Wiggly Years of Fun!* album and video about doing a flap dance. It was adapted from The Crickets song "You Got The Drop", which later appeared in the *Rock & Roll Preschool* album and video.

## Lyrics

### English

Here's a Dance called The Flap! Let's do it

together, here we go.

First you put your hands up

Then you put them down

You put them up again

And you shake them all around

Let's go high (high)

Let's go low (low)

Then guess what (what?)

We're doing the flap now

We're doing the F-L-A-P

We're doing the flap (doing the flap)

We're doing the flap now (doing the flap now)

We're doing the flap (doing the flap)

We're doing the flap now (doing the flap now)

You put your hands up

Then you put them down

You put them up again

And you turn around

Let's go high (high)

Let's go low (low)

Then guess what (what?)

We're doing the flap now

We're doing the F-L-A-P

We're doing the flap (doing the flap)

We're doing the flap now (doing the flap now)

We're doing the flap (doing the flap)

We're doing the flap (doing the flap now)

Ah Dorothy? (Yes?) Are you flapping over there?

(Flapping good!)

Well how about you Henry the Octopus? Are

you having a flap too?

(I can't stop flapping)

Ah Captain Feathersword! Are you flapping

over there?

(Hoho I'm flapping me hearties!)

Alright Let's all flap. The Wiggles are in a flap

too! How about you?

F-L-A-P

We're doing the flap (doing the flap)

We're doing the flap now (doing the flap now)

We're doing the flap (doing the flap)

We're doing the flap now (doing the flap now)

Let's roll our arms up now

Then you roll them down

Roll them to the side

Then you roll them all around

You roll high (high)

You roll low (low)

Then guess what (what?)

We're doing the flap now

We're doing the F-L-A-P

We've done the flap!
