John is a stomp, kanakanaka is patted sixteenths on your > > legs, too and lay are clapped and ay is a double high five. Then you > swing again, then the chorus, and the last line is same movements as before. > On the last John kanakanaka too lay ay I have the circles move one place to > > the right and left respectively so students get a new partner and the > dance starts over.
