^ That's quite a complex, inventive line that they're singing, before they go completely wild about half-way through the song. Good call.
(Total rookie mistake to forget how many shimmies you're supposed to sing, Maria. I don't think you'd make it as a backing vocalist, I'm afraid. )

This song starts with something that's tricky to transcribe too. I think it's "root-toot-too do woodit. Catch it while you can, because after a while they abandon singing in favour of acrobatics which shift in a matter of minutes from charming to clever, to painful-looking and finally, disturbing.
