MAINSTREAM

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Circle Left

I want a girl, just like the girl

That married dear old Dad

Walk all Around the Corner Lady, See-Saw your Baby

4 Men Star Right inside

Go once around, Pass the Partner, Left Allemande

Swing with your girl and Promenade, ‘cause

I want a girl, just like the girl

That married dear old Dad

FIGURE

Head Couples Square Thru count 4 hands go walking round the land

And then put Centres-In, Cast-Off 3/4

Ends Run, everyone do a Right & Left Thru

Turn a little girl, when you do, Pass the Ocean, now

Single Hinge and then a Scoot Back and go

Swing the corner girl and Promenade her home

I want a girl, just like the girl

That married dear old Dad

ALTERNATE MIDDLE BREAK

4 Ladies Chain across to you know who, join up your hands you do

Circle to the Left and move it right along now

Boys In, Girls Sashay, Circle to the Left around the way

Boys In, Girls Sashay, Circle to the Left again

Allemande Left the corner, come back and you Swing

Swing your lady, Promenade the ring

I want a girl, just like the girl

That married dear old Dad

ORIGINAL LYRICS

When I was a boy
My mother often said to me,
Get married boy, and see,
How happy you will be.

I have looked all over,
But no girlie can I find,
Who seems to be just like
The little girl I have in mind.

I will have to look around
Until the right one I have found....

I want a girl just like the girl
That married dear old dad!
She was a pearl and the only girl
That daddy ever had.
