- Left Foot (Ernie)
- Right Cookie (Cookie Monster)
- Two Hands (The Count)
- Tail Feathers (Big Bird)
- Do the Pigeon, flap it all about (Bert)
- Head, look all about (Oscar)
- Take a big leap, curtsey all about (Zoe)
- Swing your partner, do-si-do about (Elmo and Zoe)
- Skip Skip, whoops! skip all about (Grover)
- Whole self, dance all about (everyone)
