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.

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,
