Recited over a jazzy bed, Murray shares his Dutch Reach poem after Shaun shared news on it's inclusion in the Highway Code.

The Dutch Reach

Do the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby
Do the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby
Do the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby
Do the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby

forget the hand that usually opens
Forget the hand that’s closest to the door
Stop for a second and engage your brain
Reach across your body with the opposite paw

Do the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby
Do the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby

Feel your shoulders turn like a supermodel
Head flicks round like a movie star
wing mirror first then over your shoulder
now your looking out of the back of your car

Because you’re
Doing the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby
Doing the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby

And maybe there will be a cyclist there
Maybe just clear unnocupied air
But whatever the weather when the car door swings
You can feel pretty cool because you did the right thing

By
Doing the dutch reach did the dutch reach baby
Doing the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby
Doing the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby
Doing the dutch reach do the dutch reach baby
