Swinging On A Star
Bing Crosby with the Williams Brothers 1944
  (Sting 380)   Paul Bristow
 
one column

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK    Mainstream

Circle left
Would you like to swing on star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar

Left allemande and then dosado
The men star left one time and go
Would you like to swing on a star, turn thru
Left allemande and promenade far
And be better of than you are
* Or would you rather be a mule?


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* Or would you rather be a pig?

* Or would you rather be a fish?

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru
**A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Touch 1/4, scoot back and then
Single hinge, girls trade and now swing thru
Boys run right, tag the line all the way face in
Pass the ocean, centers trade
Recycle, star thru and promenade
*** And by the way, if you hate to go to school,
You may grow up to be a mule


ALTERNATE LYRICS

** A pig is an animal with dirt on his face

*** But if you don't care a feather or a fig,
You may grow up to be a pig


** A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook

*** But then, if that sort of life is what you wish,
You may grow up to be a fish


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Would you like to swing on star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better of than you are

Allemande left and weave
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you'll meet quite a few
, promenade
So you see, it's all up to you
You can be better than you are


TAG

Swing her there
You could be swinging on a star
