Choreographer's note: To try and make the dance a bit easier to navigate, I've labelled each section with the letters F, I, S, H and Y.
An easy way to remember the dance: verses are FISHY, choruses are FISH.
There are three simple tags in the dance, as well as a slight change on wall 5.
See notes under 'tags'. Get your hooks and rods out folks - let's go fishing!
