Us Against The World
There is no one else that
I can say this to
And there is nothing better
Than to talk to you
If you have a problem
I'll be here for you
'Cause girl you always know that
[Stand slightly to the left of your center line, and face the front right corner. Hold your microphone with your left hand and pretend you're singing. Your right hand should be on your hip, and your head should be facing the front. Your legs should be apart, and your back should be a bit arched backwards. While you stand, you can either keep your right arm by your side, or float it up and down once or twice.]
It's us against the world
[Still singing, step forward with your right foot, then your left. Now, still facing the front, take two more steps, but this time, don't move forward. Step to the side, so that your legs are apart again. During these four steps, you should slide your feet against the ground a little bit, and have your right arm by your side.]
[The music is playing.]
[As soon as you hear the music start, bring your microphone down slowly. When you hear the first beat, lift your right leg and bring it back to your left leg (your feet are now together). Bend your legs and shake your head upside down. Do this by bending your body towards your legs very quickly, and then flicking it back up again. When you do this, both your hands should be behind your back. Then, take two steps back, starting with your right leg. Your body should still be facing the front. Now, take two more steps forward. All of these steps should follow each other. During these four steps, your hands are by your side. Take one last step to face the back. While you take this step, bring your hands together (almost so that no one notices). Turn your body and your head towards the front (turn towards your right), but leave your feet firmly planted on the ground. While you face the front, stretch your right arm and point to the audience (or your wall, whichever is the case). Bring yourself back to facing the back quickly, and then face the front one more time without moving your feet. This time, do not move your arm. Now, turn towards the left and face the front. While you turn, you should be sliding your right foot a bit. Take three steps towards the front, starting with your right leg. You should have cool attitude about this.]
I met someone the other night
Someone I really started to like
How will I know if he's right for me
I wonder if we are meant to be
[Take five more steps towards the front. Take two steps towards the back. During all of these steps, keep a cool attitude. Feel free to shake your hips a bit, and move your head if you want to. Now, take two more steps, but this time, step out to the side, so that your legs are apart. You can also touch your hair at this point. Take a mini-step with your right foot. Take eight steps, turning around yourself in a small circle. Start with your left foot. While you turn, look back at the audience before facing the back completely. Come back to face the front, slightly turned towards your left corner. Shake your hips and keep your left foot up a bit (your toe should still be touching the floor, though). Transfer your weight to the right foot, then to the left again. While you do this, shake your head towards the audience, and then back to the side. Turn around yourself in one step, then take three steps backwards. Start with your right foot. During all of this, Anaïs is singing, so do not hold the microphone to your mouth. Swing your arms in a casual manner.]
Don't start to like him
Too much
Too soon
[You still aren't singing, so keep your microphone down. Take four steps to the front, and as you do so, bring your arm up, and float it down your side. Start stepping with your right foot. You should land with your feet apart. Put your hands on your hips. Shake your hips four times, starting with your right side. Walk (starting with your right foot) for five steps. During these steps, turn your body to the left a bit. During this part, Rosie is walking to her spot, which is to left of center. Face the front after the last step. Now, point your left foot towards the ground during the last step. Bring your right arm up and float it down while you do this. Take a step with your left foot, and face your left wall. Bring your right leg in, but point it towards the ground, and keep it bent. Bring the microphone up to your mouth, and face the ground (your left wall).]
There is no one else that
I can say this to

If you have a problem
I'll be here for you
'Cause girl you always know that
It's us against the world
[Take two steps towards the audience, starting with your right foot. Slide your feet a little bit. During this part, you are singing, so remember to lip-sing! Take three more steps. This time, face the front, but travel towards your right. Step with your left foot towards your left, and bring your right foot towards it. Point it towards the ground. Swing your right arm around your stomach. Take another step with your right foot, and point your left foot to the ground. As you do this, swing your right arm into the air, and turn your wrist (like a cowboy!). Repeat this step twice, but without the arm. Now, walk towards your left (face the left). Take two steps starting with your left foot, and then take a small jump into second position, parallel (feet facing the front, legs apart). Swing your hips from side to side twice, pointing from your chest to the audience (Ill be here for you). Take one step back with your right foot, and then take four steps forward, starting with your left foot, and land with both of your feet together. Shake your hips and bring your arm right arm up. Have your elbow pointing towards you, and your hand outwards. Move your arm just a little bit and bring your whole upper body forward and back. Take a step to the right so that your legs are apart. While you do this, form your right hand into a fist and punch down towards the floor. Now, punch it again, but this time, across your body, to the left. Keep it low! Then, spread your hand out again, and throw it out to your right. It should be across from your shoulder, so make sure its high enough. Bend your arm and bring your hand back in towards your shoulder. Finally, throw your hand out in front of you, like youre pushing against a wall, and rebound it back out to the right. When you do this, the rest of your body should swing a bit the left, like youre pushing someone heavy.]
You know that boy I started to see
He thinks he can have it all for free
I wonder if hes the one for me
I started to doubt myself and to see
[Youre not singing for this part. Take two steps backwards, sliding your feet against the ground as you do. Start with the right foot. Then, take one step sideways with your right foot. Go towards your right. Do this quickly, and then take three steps towards your left. Face your left wall. Pause with your right foot pointed towards the ground and your right knee bent. While youre in this position, swing your right arm to the back, then to the front, then step forwards (towards the audience). Start with the right foot. Now, take one step to the right and shake your hips to the right and to the left. Then, go back to the right, and lean your head to the right. Walk around yourself, starting with your left foot. Take eight steps. You should land just to the left of your center line. When Play is dancing, they form a diamond, and Rosie is on the left side. Your feet should be apart. Put your right hand on your chest and look to the right (me). You should look a bit like a princess in distress. Stay there for a few seconds, then put the microphone up to your mouth and bring your feet together.]
Dont start to like him
Too much
Too soon
[Youre singing, so lip-sing! Take three steps forward (starting with your left) and move your arm across your middle. Point your index finer up, and shake it like youre saying, Dont go there! Have a cool attitude. Then, take your left foot and step out to the side so that your legs are apart. Pose with your left leg straight and your right leg bent next to it, your right foot pointing into the ground (much). Take four steps starting with the left foot, still facing the audience, to your left, and raise your right arm into the air. Then, bring it down, and take a step towards the right with your right foot. Punch your right arm downwards. Keep your legs apart.]
There is no one else that
I can say this to
And there is nothing better

If you have a problem
I'll be here for you
'Cause girl you always know that
It's us against the world
[Keep lip-singing! Punch your right arm across your body, then down. When you do this, bend your knees along with the music. When you finish this, look from the left back to the audience, and then swing you right arm across your body and back. Take a step towards your left with your left foot, and slide your right foot behind you. Now, take your right foot, take a step in front of your left foot, and turn around yourself. Take two steps back, starting with your right, and land with both your feet together. Now, take two more steps forward, and take another step, sliding the other foot behind you (that would be your right foot). While you take this last step, point to your audience with your right arm stretched out in front of you. Then, take two more steps (starting with your right foot) to the side, and land with your feet apart. Spank the air with your right arm. Keep this below your waist. Now, face your right wall and, starting with your right foot, take two steps backwards. Walk around yourself, and high-five Anaïs (or the air, whatever!). Face the front after you have completed a semi-circle, and take three steps towards the front (Its us against the world). Start with your right leg. As you take these three steps, punch your right arm to your side (by your leg), across your body (keep it low), and then float it up slowly.]

[Keep floating your arm up, and then back down, as you take four steps to the right. Land with your feet together. For the first part of the chorus (There is no one else that I can say this to), stay where you are, and get your groove on. Bend your knees a lot, and move your hips and arm. Lip-singing is important! Take four steps towards the left, and land with your feet together, facing the front. You should be on the other side of the stage (or the floor). Keep getting your groove on. Flick your hair, do whatever you want to do. When the last part of the chorus starts (Cause girl), walk back to the center (to your left) by taking three steps. Then, take one last step with your left foot, which will make you land with your feet apart, facing the audience. When the last line starts, punch your right arm to your side (down low), across your body (still low), to your right side (at shoulder height), and then, spreading your hand out, hit the air right in front of you. Keep your arm out!]
Whenever youre near
There is no fear
It feels like theres nothing
I cant do
[Youre singing, so keep the microphone up. For the first verse, simply float your arm up, and then down, sliding beside your body. Then, take two slow steps (starting with your right foot), and start traveling to your right. Now, take five more steps, but a bit quicker. Land facing your left wall, with your feet spread apart.]
And baby, feels wrong
Cause its here
With you
That I belong
[Youre not singing. Turn your head to the back, and put the microphone down. Just stay in that pose.]
There is no one else that
I can say this to
And there is nothing better
Than to talk to you
If you have a problem
I'll be here for you
'Cause girl you always know that
[As soon as you start singing, bring the microphone up, and turn yourself to face the audience. Until the If you have a problem, get your groove on. Float your arm up and down, shake your hips, bend your knees Whatever floats your boat! But then, as soon as you hear problem, take two steps outwards, starting with your right leg. For the Ill be here for you, float your arm up. Then, after that part, float your arm down. Take two more steps outwards, starting with your right foot again. Then, turn once around yourself towards the right. Pose! Rosie poses with her left arm by her side and her right hand on her hip. Her legs are spread apart, and her rib cage is slightly titled to her left. She had a cool attitude about it.]
There aint nobody else but you
That makes me feel the way that I do
There aint nobody else but you
[Move your hips to the right. As you do so, bend your knees, and then straighten them when your hips have moved enough. Repeat this to the left. Keep your right hand on your hip. Now, repeat the step again, but dont stretch between the two sides. It should look liquid. Go from the right, to the left, to the right again. Repeat the whole thing, but starting with the left. Repeat the whole thing again, but this time, move your right arm like youre swimming (up, to the right) for the first movement (to the right). Then, to the left, put your hand on your hip. Now, instead of doing the third step, hyperextend your torso and shake your shoulders, then shake them twice again with your upper body bend forward. When you hear But you, float your arm up, and then back down.]
Its us against the world
[Youre not singing, so put that microphone down! All you have to do during this part is smile and look pretty.]
There is no one else that
I can say this to
And there is nothing better
Than to talk to you
If you have a problem
I'll be here for you
'Cause girl you always know
[Just keep your groove on. Jump up and down, point to the audience, float your arm up, shake your hips You know the deal. Smile!]
That
Its us against the world
[As soon as you hear that, take four steps to the back (face the back), starting with your right foot. Then, take one last step to the right with your right foot, and land with your legs apart. Step twice (left, right) without moving. Then, move your hips to the right, keep your hand up (with the microphone), smile, and wait for everyone to applaud!
