Breach of the Peace Samba


 

Welfare State/ Custard

(Tune sign: make a 'W' symbol with hands)

   

Notes:

 

This one’s easy to remember – just think “I’ve got custard in my underpants”!

   

Start with break 2, with everyone playing "I've got custard" and the tams playing "in my underpants" three times, followed by once of everyone playing together.

 

When playing break 3, leave one of the instruments playing (e.g. tams or agogos) whilst everyone else plays the break.

 

Finish on a shouting call. Enjoy.
