Lyrics

There is a gal named Anna
From the splendid Great Lakes State
She went to Taiwan on a scholarship
They all thought she was great!
She studied Mandarin Chinese
She learned to speak it well
Then she discovered Tai Ji Quan
Here's the story I must tell
She's Push Hands Anna, Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna from the Great Lakes State
Push Hands Anna, Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna from the Great Lakes State
She meets a Tai Ji Master
And with practice every night
She aces all the moves so easily
But something just ain't right
Her teacher tells her firmly
"Tai Ji is not a dance!
You have to find your center deep inside
And be mindful of your stance."
She's Push Hands Anna, Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna from the Great Lakes State
Push Hands Anna, Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna from the Great Lakes State
Poor Anna doesn't get it
She starts losing confidence
This silly yin yang talk is Greek to her
She just can't make much sense
The master knows his pupil
He sees what he must do
He says, "I'll teach you pushing hands, tui shou
Then the Tai Ji will come through!"
Her progress is astounding
Hey, her teacher's so impressed
He claims of all the students that he's taught
She is the very best
The locals come to watch her
The news spreads far and wide
The crowd is chanting, "Push Hands Anna rocks!"
Now she wears her name with pride
She's Push Hands Anna, Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna from the Great Lakes State
Push Hands Anna, Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna from the Great Lakes State
She's back home in Grand Rapids
If you ever pass that way
You may see Anna holding Tai Ji class
Out in the park one day
Her students trust their teacher
She guides them to advance
She tells them, "Find your center deep inside
And be mindful of your stance."
She's Push Hands Anna, Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna from the Great Lakes State
Push Hands Anna, Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna from the Great Lakes State
Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna
Push Hands Anna from the Great Lakes State
