I don't think there's any religious source for that. It's just a 'fun dance' added in to get the kids more involved in the song. If anything, the source would probably be Sesame Street.– Salmononius2Dec 27, 2015 at 22:58

@msh210 can you provide an example of the other tunes and words?– singingthreadDec 28, 2015 at 0:10

2@msh210 An example (perhaps the origin) is from the show Grease. (Warning--not very tzanua dancing behind that link)– DanielDec 28, 2015 at 1:11
