OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Ridin' on Daddy's shoulder, it's off to bed
Little sleepyhead, that's my girl
Gotta have a drink of water and a story read
A teddy bear named Ted, that's my girl

Allemande and weave
**In a few short years I've gone from rags to riches
What I did before that, I don't know
Just let it rain on the windowpane, I've got my own rainbow
Bidin' my time and watchin' Tanya grow


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Ridin' bikes, playin' dolls and Nintendo
Playin' piano, that's my girl
Dancin' to a group called "New Kids On The Block"
Oh, what a shock! - that's my girl


**Daddy, do you really have to leave to call a dance now?
Wish I could, but I'll be back in an hour or so
I think I'll stay right here and say another prayer before I go
Me and Mommy watchin' Tanya grow


*Tanya's all grown up now, and she has her own
Her very own...miracle
Her name's Shania, and we love her so
Just one year old...what a girl!


**Nana and Poppa just can't wait to see her
It feels like forever between the times we do
Our little girl's grown up and is a mother of her own
We're all sittin' here shinin' watchin' Shania grow


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade go halfway 'round
Into the middle and pass the ocean there, extend
Swing thru and then, boy trade, spin the top
Move up and recycle here, slide thru and the corner swing
Keep her and promenade and go
***Just let it rain on the windowpane, I've got my own rainbow
Bidin' my time and watchin' Tanya grow


ALTERNATE LYRICS

***I think I'll stay right here and say another prayer before I go
Me and Mommy watchin' Tanya grow
