two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Walk around the corner, partner left dopaso
Her by the left, corner right, partner left and go
Make an allemande thar, men swing in and back on down the line
Slip the clutch, left allemande, weave around the ring
It was nine feet high, six feet wide, soft as a downy chick
Swing your lady around and promenade you bet
It would hold eight kids and four hound dogs
And a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn't get much sleep, but we had a lot of fun
On Grandma's feather bed


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head two couples promenade go halfway around the ring
Down the middle, square thru 4 hands I sing
Four hands around and then, swing thru and go
The boys run to the right, all the couples circulate
Half tag, scoot back, scoot back again
Star thru and then, promenade the ring
It would hold eight kids and four hound dogs
And a piggy we stole from the shed
We didn't get much sleep, but we had a lot of fun
On Grandma's feather bed


TAG

We didn't get much sleep, but we had a lot of fun
On Grandma's feather bed

Contains a "blended" movement: Scoot Back followed by Star Thru.
