Just give me that milk, moo moo moo moo
Wisconsin Milk, moo moo moo moo

W.I. IN YOUR EYE

"I" comes from clapping your hands together in the air
Once you get to "eye" you chop down with your arms that were making an "I"

LATIN FANS
Hey all you Latin fans, let me hear you clap your hands!
(Fast paced clapping)
Now that you got the beat, let me hear you stop your feet!
(Stomping fast paced)
Now that you got the groove, let me see you bust a move!
​WOO!

PODIUM
Is that not the podium?
Yes that is the podium!
Are those not the officers?
Yes those are the officers!
Are those not the other states?
Yes those are the other states!
Is this not the best state?
Yes this is the best state!
Podium!

RED WAGON
(Chopping pointer finger and arm across body after every line)
You can't ride in my little red wagon
The wheels are broken
and the axel's dragging
You can't ride in my little red wagon
Any! 
More!
