two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
What's more American than corn flakes
The Fourth of July, or Uncle Sam?
What's more American than baseball?
I am! I am!

4 ladies chain, chain 'em back
Then promenade that land
What's more American than corn flakes?
I am! I am! I am!


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands you do
Meet the sides (heads) and do the right & left thru, veer left
Couples circulate, chain down the line, turn the girl, go, wup, 2, 3, 4
Star thru, pass thru, and trade by
Swing the corner and promenade that land
What's more American than popcorn?
I am! I am! I am!


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Hup, 2, 3, 4, hup, 2, 3, 4
Hup, 2, 3, 4, hup, 2, 3
, reverse
Hup, 2, 3, 4, hup, 2, 3, 4
Hup, 2, 3, 4

4 ladies chain, go
Chain 'em back and promenade that land
What's more American than hot dogs?
I am! I am! I am!

Ice cream, football, square dance

I am! I am! I am!

The original Kadish Millet song can be heard on a CD called Let Freedom Ring, available from Classroom Classics here: http://www.classroomclassics.com/products/let-freedom-ring/. The sheet music appears to be out of print and "permanently unavailable" according to many sheet music sites. Seeing how popular this is, that seems like an unwise thing to do, but I don't run the world. Try your local library. - D. Ceder
