TAG
This is the dialogue part of the song. I didn't want to put in steps because silent counting won't be easy for some folks. So I put in arms and head action, much like a modern dance.
"All aboard, ..." : look down, arms down. Keep absolutely still
"Oh, it's beautiful....baby I went down and got it for you" slowly raise arms over head and slowly put them down again
"Oh, you shouldn't have...." : remain still, then look up suddenly
Prepare to restart the dance immediately after this
