REPEAT

 TINY TAG:  After sequences 3, 5, 8, 9 & 10 (in other words, every time they sing   "...Leave me till the cows are coming home.") they throw in an extra 4 beats.  Fill them in with the following:

1&2              Shuffle step to the right,  R,L,R
3&4              Shuffle step to the left, L,R,L

FINISHING NOTE:  After the 10th sequence, (you've just done the tag for the 5th time and are facing the back wall) they repeat, "Leave me till the cows are coming home" and there's music going into the fadeout.  There's enough time to do another complete sequence and half the tag (shuffle to the right) then stomp the left foot on the last note.
