OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*I asked a wise old owl in the old oak tree
If he knew about this feeling that's been coming over me
He gave me a wink and then he nodded his head
You could have knocked me over when he said
Allemande and weave
Well it's the same old reason that I can't sleep at night
It's the same old reason that I can't eat a bite
It's the same old reason that the moon's up above
It's love, love, la la la love
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Well, I didn't want to listen to an owl in a tree
So I had my family doctor come and visit with me
I asked if he knew why I was sick and in bed
He took one look and then he said
*The doctor said the same as the owl did before
So I thought I'd put the question to the girl next door
She gave a big hug and a kiss to me
She said, "My darling,"
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
The heads (sides) make a left hand star, you turn it 'round
To the corner make a right hand star
Heads star left and roll it all the way back
Find the corner, touch 1/4
Scoot back, go boys, scoot back, go girls
Star thru and promenade that old world
It's the same old reason that the moon's up above
It's love, love, la la la love
Contains a "blended" movement: Scoot Back followed by Star Thru.
