Dr. Knickerbocker

Circle game, standing.

IT is in the center, doing the song and motions with everyone else.

Dr. Knickerbocker, Knickerbocker, Number One,

   He sure got stung by the bumbley bum.

Now let's get the rhythm of the hands (clap clap).

  Now we've got the rhythm of the hands (clap clap).

Now let's get the rhythm of the feet (stamp, stamp).

  Now we've got the rhythm of the feet (stamp, stamp).

Now let's get the rhythm of the hips ("Woo woo!").

  Now we've got the rhythm of the hips ("Woo woo!)"

Now let's get the rhythm of the eyes-----.

  Now we've got the rhythm of the eyes-----.

Now let's get the rhythm of the number five!

On the beginning of the word, "Knickerbocker" everyone starts a touch-clap-touch-clap rhythm (Touch hands of people beside you, fingers pointed up, clapping your palms together.)  

(Be careful at the claps after "let's get the rhythm of the hands," as there will be actually three claps in a row.  )

The other moves are all inserted in the two beats where the rhythm is NOT clapped. 

The "hips" movement is a little bump and grind while saying "Woo woo!"

The "eyes" movement goes with a long-sounding vocal slide on the word (pitch rises).

 I hope this makes sense.  It's easier done than said.

At the end of the song, IT spins around with her eyes closed, pointing outward.

When she stops, the person at whom she is pointing shouts, "Five!"  Then the next person counter-clockwise shouts "Ten," and the next people continue, one at a time, counting by five.

Whoever gets to say "100!" is the new IT, and goes to the center.
