SHAKE, SHAKE A HAND – A great audience participation song or song for kids and picnics.  Custom arranged for Dixieland band with vocal and interaction.  Each verse asks the audience to do something with a “neighbor” – The leader sings the melody and changes the action each time as the band moves up a half step each time.

Optional verses include:

Shake, shake a hand, shake a hand next to ya.

Pat, pat a back, pat a back next to ya.

Hug, hug a friend, hug a friend next to ya.

Pinch, pinch a cheek, pinch a cheek next to you.  (Pinch the correct cheek;)

Or make up your own. 

The arrangement  has a vamp between each verse which allows banter from the leader.  You can also repeat any section to use more actions.

Parts include piano/vocal/rhythm, clarinet, trumpet, tenor sax, trombone, baritone sax or tuba.
