Lyrics
This is a catchy large movement dance that is a great social experience. There are two basic movements that repeat three times throughout the song. In the introductory music, students explore fine motor skills and instrumentation by jingling the bells or shaking the tambourines in the air, and gross motor skills by walking around in slow, small circles.
A. Chan channa chan chan
Cha na na na na
Chan channa chan chan!
(Repeat ‘A’ once more)
Chan channa chan chan
Cha na na na na
Chan channa chan chan!
Chan channa chan chan
Cha na na na na
Chan channa chan chan!
B. Ya ya yallah, ya yallah
Ya ya yallah, ya yallah
Ya ya yallah, ya yallah
Ya ya yallah, ya yallah
C. Chan channa chan chan
Cha na na na na
Chan channa chan chan!
(Repeat ‘C’ once more)
Chan channa chan chan
Cha na na na na
Chan channa chan chan!
Chan channa chan chan

Chan channa chan chan!
D. Ya ya yallah, ya yallah
Ya ya yallah, ya yallah
