At the chorus, while singing, they put their arms across each other’s shoulders, the end ones with outer hands on hips, and take the following steps:
1. Step three steps to the right, hop on right foot, and swing the left foot before the right.
2. At accented measures (corresponding to “hurray, hurray”) stamp in time first with left, then with right foot.
3. Three steps to left, hop on left foot and swing right foot before the other.
4. Three steps to front (starting with right foot), hop on right foot, swing left before the other.
5. Stamp in time, first with left foot, then with right, then hop on left foot and swing the right in front of the left, then hop on right foot and swing the left foot in front of the right.
6. Stamp with right foot, then with left; hop on left foot, swing right; hop on right foot, swing left.
This completes the first stanza and chorus. Then, without singing, and in time to the same tune, let the line behind, led by the leader in front, give a dance. The motions are given below, but the time of them must be found as the boys practice.
It is called a “dance,” but in reality is posturing and stepping. Any other motions than those given can be used if desired, the only requirement being that those in the line move in unison.
