Dum-Dum-Da-Da

This song is sung doing one set of actions at a time, repeating until all actions are finished. For example, for the first verse, you repeat slapping your thighs twice, then slapping your chest with your right hand twice, then slapping your thighs twice, then slapping your chest with your left hand twice until the verse is finished. The last verse is sung doing all of the actions once through following the list below. For an added challenge, trying to sing the last verse (complete with the actions) really fast.
