    The verse is “My hands are high, my hands are low, and this is how I wigalo” 
    The song leader starts by singing to a member of the den: Hey **NAME**

    The person then responds: “Yea” 
    The song leader responds: “Are you ready?”  
    The person then responds: “For what?” 
    The song leader responds: “To show us how you wig a low” 
    The person then responds: “I’ll show you how I wig a low.  My hands are high my feet are low and this is how I wig a low” they then do some kind of fun motion and that’s the way 
    Everyone in the group then sings “**NAME** hands are high, their hands are low, and this is how **NAME** wig a lows” everyone repeats the motion. 
    Everyone continues to sing “wig a low, wig wig a low, wig a low, wig wig allow”  
    Song leader then sings to another member of the den until everyone in the den has been called.
