OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 11
Circle left
*Yankee Doodle went to town a riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his hat and call it macaroni
Allemande left your corner, partner box the gnat
All 4 ladies promenade, once inside the set
Turn your partner by the right, full turn around you go
Allemande left with the corner, come back and promeno
**Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I'm a Yankee Doodle dandy, Yankee Doodle do or die
**Oh, Yankee Doodle came to town a riding on his pony
I am a Yankee Doodle boy
*Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain
**And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
1 & 3 promenade, go halfway round the floor
2 & 4 pass thru, round one make a line of 4
Go forward 8 to the middle and come on back
Star thru, all double pass thru
Lead couples partner trade, make a right hand star
Go once around, girls turn back
Swing and promenade her
*Promenade with the lady fair, walk that gal around the square
Yes we'll all be glad when Johnny comes marching home
ALTERNATE LYRICS (FIGURE)
*We are proud to claim the title of United States Marines
*We'll look up with hearts that are free
And from afar we'll see the stars and stripes forever
*Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag
