Thank You Very Much | (SDBob Recordings 124) Art Lavigne |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Thank you very much! Thank you very much!
That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me
It sounds a bit bizarre, the things the way they are
Left allemande your corner and then you weave that ring
And if I had a flag I would wave it!
Dosado and promenade your lady home
But since I left my flag at home, I'll simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression

Square thru you go four hands ya know
Dosado your corner do an eight chain four

Thank you very, very, very much

Notes:
1. The original Flag verse said "And if I had a Flag I'd let my flag out" which was changed because it did not sound right and may be mistaken for a slur.
2. The original did not mention "Bell" but was put in for balance.
3. The original they sometimes used "me" instead of "my" as in "But since I left me Cannon at home" - feel free to use it too if you want to give it a more old English sound.
