Swinging On A Star
Bing Crosby with the Williams Brothers 1944
  (Rawhide 1229)   Jerry Gilbreath
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK    Mainstream

Circle left
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar

Left allemande the corner girl, dosado
Men star left one time and go
Would you like to swing on a star (Turn thru)
Left allemande and promenade
* And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule (fish)


ALTERNATE LYRICS

* But it that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads promenade and take 'em halfway around
Walk in and square thru get 'em four
Go all the way do the right & left thru and then
You veer to the left and ferris wheel and now
Those centers square thru just to three
Swing the corner maid and promenade for me
* And by the way if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are

Left allemande and weave the ring
And all the monkeys are in the zoo
Everyday you meet quite a few
(Promenade)
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swinging on a star
