Wave one finger on your right hand
Wave it side to side
Wave two fingers on your right hand
Wave them side to side
Wave three fingers on your right hand
Wave them side to side
Wave four fingers on your right hand
Wave them side to side
Wave five fingers on your right hand
Wave them side to side

And now wave all five fingers
Hello hello hello
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
And now wave all five fingers
Hello hello hello
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Wave one finger on your left hand
Wave it side to side
Wave two fingers on your left hand
Wave them side to side
Wave three fingers on your left hand
Wave them side to side
Wave four fingers on your left hand
Wave them side to side
Wave five fingers on your left hand
Wave them side to side

And now wave all five fingers
Hello hello hello
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
And now wave all five fingers
Hello hello hello
Goodbye goodbye goodbye

Hello hello hello
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Hello hello hello
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
