Lyrics:

I am shaking my maracas
Way up high
Way up high
Way up high
I am shaking my maracas way up high
Way up high in the air

I am shaking my maracas
Way down low
Way down low
Way down low
I am shaking my maracas way down low
Shaking them near the ground

I am tapping my maracas
to the scale
Do re me fa so la ti do
I am shaking my maracas
to the scale
Do re me fa so la ti do
