[ Music ends ] [ Cheers and applause ] [ Cheering continues ] [ Up-tempo introduction plays ] -This next song is entitled "Big Money."

But first, before we play "Big Money," we got to teach you the Big Money steps.

You see, you put your right hand on your head.

Then you put your left hand on your head.

And you do it back and forth, like this.

Easy, right?

Easy, right?

Now then you put it in the air... ...and then you pay out the money.

Pay out the big money.

See that?

And then..."Big money!"

Everybody say, "Big money!"

When you put it together it goes a little something like this.

You'll hear the lyric when it happens.

It's like one, two, three, four.

Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy Everybody chasin' that big, big money" - Big money Then on that part, you say, "Big money!"

You got to put a little bit of hysteria in your voice.

See?

Big money.

Nick Waterhouse in the house, everybody.

Special guest Nick Waterhouse on the stage right here.

He's gonna be the arbiter of whether or not y'all get the steps right.

One.

Two.

A-one, two, you know what to do.

Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy - Everybody chasin' that big, big..." - Big money -There it is.

Now y'all get your hips going with it, too.

Now we're gonna do it again.

And in the second half is a little bit more advanced.

It requires a spin and a dip.

It's a spin and a dip.

So you spin on beat four.

You go one, two, three... Then, when you come back around, you reintroduce yourself to the world and you do whatever movement you want to do.

You do your thing on that part.

I like to ride a horse on that part.

So it goes one, two, three.

On four, you do the spin.

We're gonna put it all together.

Check it out.

One, two, three, four.

Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy Everybody chasin' that big, big..." - Big money One, two, three!

- Might as well live for something -You got it!

- You can feel -You do the spin and then you come around.

- ...something real -Hey!

See?

And that's what it's all about.

"Big Money" is actually not a song about money.

It's a song about not selling your soul for silver and gold -- ever.

There's a lot of soul-selling going on right now.

We ain't gonna do that.

So we're gonna put it all together one more time.

And you do the spin, reintroduce yourself to the world, and do whatever you want to do.

Do your movement.

Do your thing.

Shine your light.

Be you.

[ Chuckles ] All right.

A-one, two, three, unh!

Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy Everybody chasin' that big, big..." - Big money One, two, three!

Ah, you might as well live for something you can feel Might as well live for something real We are in a zone.

This is "Big Money."

You could buy a house But you can't buy a home And you could be surrounded And still be alone Oh, Lord You can be living the life but not living the dream Mama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy Everybody chasin' that big, big money" - Big money Ha, ha.

Ha, ha.

And you could buy a horse Don't mean you can ride And you could buy a plane But that don't make you fly Oh, Lord - Oh, Lord - You can be living the life but not living the dream It seems Here we go.

Grandmama said, "Boy, don't you be no dummy Everybody chasin' that big, big money" - Big money -Ha!

Ha!

Ah, you might as well live for something you can feel Might as well live for something real Ah, you might as well live for something you can feel Might as well live for something real You can't take it with you 'Cause there wasn't nothing with you before - Ooh-hoo - Dust to dust, ashes to ashes Same old, same old, same old thing [ Music stops ] [ Cheers and applause ] -Nick, Desz, Taz, it's the same old thing since the beginning.
