OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Mainstream
Sides face, grand square
Daddy (mama) dumpling, I love you and you're still my best buddy (girl friend)
I wouldn't trade for all the daddies (mamas) in the world
Daddy (mama) dumpling, I miss you and my heart's always with you
And no matter what you do, I'll always be your best girl (beau)
Left allemande, do a dosado
Left allemande, and promenade (yodel if you dare)
Daddy (mama) dumpling, I love you and you're still my best buddy (girl friend)
And no matter what you do, I'll always be your best girl (beau)
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads square thru four hands you go
Around the corner, do a little dosado to a wave
Well, the girls trade, swing thru, and now the boys run
You tag the line, girls turn back
Star thru and bend the line and square thru 3 hands
Swing the corner, promenade (yodel if you dare)
Daddy (mama) dumpling, I love you and you're still my best buddy (girl friend)
That's why I wrote this daddy (mama) dumpling song
