A Place In The Choir The Clancy Brothers And Tommy Makem; Peter, Paul and Mary; Celtic Thunder 1983 | (Riverboat 558) Bob Farnell, Mike Seastrom, Nelda Eaton |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
It's a simple song, a living song
By the ox the fox and the grizzly bear
The grumpy alligator and the hawk above
The sly old weasel...
Allemande and weave
All God's creatures have a place in the choir
Swing your girl around and promenade
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
Some clap their hands, paws, or anything they've got
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads lead right, circle to a line
Go forward come on back in time
Pass thru, tag the line all the way face out and then
Partner trade, slide thru and square thru three
Swing the corner lady, and promenade for me
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
Some clap their hands, paws, or anything they've got
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
The dogs and the cats they take up the middle
As the honey bee hums, the cricket fiddles
The donkey brays and the pony neighs
The old grey badger...
Allemande and weave
All God's creatures have a place in the choir
Swing your girl around and promenade
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire
Some clap their hands, paws, or anything they've got
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Singin' in the night time, singin' in the day
Little duck quacks and he's on his way
And the otter hasn't got that much to say
The porcupine says...
Allemande and weave
Well listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big to do
And the old cow just goes moo
Mike Seastrom does a school version with very basic choreography and Nelda Eaton does the female version.
