Rotten Little Song | (Blue Star 2005) Marshall Flippo |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER C4
Heads go forward grand parade
Today I wrote a rotten melody
And the words are just as bad as you can see
But if you want to sing along with this rotten little song
You're just as welcome as the flowers in the spring
Just sing a la la for you and a dee dee for me
You put them both together, get a la la dee dee
Sing a la la, dee dee and you add a little do
We'll both sing this rotten little song for me and for you
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Now heads (sides) go right & left thru once more (backaway)
Side (head) two couples half square thru and circle 4
Well, you'll break and make a line, forward up and back in time
You'll pass thru, then wheel & deal you see, centers zoom
Now square thru 3 hands, you go movin' round the ring
Swing the corner lady and you promenade again
Sing a la la, dee dee and you add a little do
We'll both sing this rotten little song for me and for you
