Rotten Little Song   (Blue Star 2005 )   Marshall Flippo

OPENER - BREAK - CLOSER



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



Now heads/sides go right & left thru once more
Sides/heads half square thru and circle 4
Well, you break & make a line, forward up & 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 & 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
