Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
Hello! (D major) Hey,
you in the back seat of the car.
Hey, you on the right -hand
side of the couch.
I'm talking to you.
I just waved at you,
and you didn't wave back.
Yeah, that's better.
Come on, put something into it.
Waving is an art form.
I should know.
They call me the Doctor of Waveology.
Oh, yeah.
I know all kinds of waves.
I bet you guys know this one.
Put your hand in the air
and just move your hand
back and forth.
That's the friendly wave.
That's the one most people do.
But there's a lot more.
Hold your hand up beside your head
and just move your wrist
back and forth.
That's the royal wave.
The one the queen does.
Now, you go to your grandmother's
house for dinner
and your aunt's there
and you know she's going
to want to kiss you
Cause (B minor) she (D major) always wants to kiss ya.
But you know what she has?
Yeah, girly breath.
Ha ha! So here's what you do.
You take the back of your hand,
and you hold it against your chin,
and you hold (A major) your fingers in
front of your (D major) face
and just move them a little bit.
We call that the shy wave.
Okay, take both your arms,
hold them out beside you,
and move them wildly (B minor) in (D major) the air.
That's the two -hand wave
for your special friends.
Now, this last one
is not for the squeamish.
I want you to shake your knees,
move your head,
wave your arms,
put it all together,
and we call this the crazy wave.
Well, all right.
Let's put them all together.
