I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter / Little Sue The Ink Spots 1935 | (Windsor 4176 side A) Bruce Johnson |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Well allemande left ol' corner, then you wagon wheel your girl
Men star left the girls hook on, go walkin' round the world
The hub flies full around, girls star right across the town
Opposite left, go full around, all eight chain as you come down
It's right & left and turn your own, then corners dosado
Come back and promenade the one you know
*It's much more fun to dance than write a letter
So swing and throw your pencil away
ALTERNATE LYRICS
(middle break)
*Well it don't make sense to write yourself a letter
When you can swing a good-lookin' girl
(closer)
*Well if you sit down right now to write a letter
You're gonna miss this one last chance to swing
FIGURE
Well 1 & 3 you promenade halfway round the square
Come into the middle, opposites swing, and face the outside pair
Split that couple, make a line, forward up and back in time
Center arch, ends duck in, around 1 to the middle again
Trail thru and turn your corners left, left allemande
Pass your own and promenade the next
**Promenade this brand new girl and she'll feel better
When you take her home and swing, swing, swing
ALTERNATE LYRICS (FOR PROMENADE)
**If your wife is always fussin', just forget her
And swing your cares and troubles away
**If you tell this pretty girl you're glad you met her
She'll swing with you forever more
**This gal would dance all night if you'd just let her
So swing and sway until the dawn
TAG
Yes indeed, you'd better grab this one last chance to swing
