OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER
Sides
It’s a long way to
It’s a long way to go
Well, it’s a long way to
To the sweetest girl I
know 4 Ladies Chain
Goodbye Piccadilly Chain
the Lady Back
And you Promenade the
square, for
It’s a long, long way to
But my heart’s right
there
FIGURE
Heads go Right & Left Thru, turn a little girl and
then
1/2 Square Thru, Make a Right Hand Star
Heads Star Left inside the ring now
Go to the same 2 and then Swing
Thru, why now
The Boys Trade, Swing the
corners all
Promenade that lady round the hall
It’s a long, long way to
But my heart’s right there
ORIGINAL LYRICS
Up to mighty
An Irish lad one day
All the streets were paved with gold
So everyone
was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly
Strand, and
'Til Paddy got excited and
He shouted to them there:
It's a long way to
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to
To the sweetest girl I know
Farewell Leicester
Square
It's a long long way to
But my heart's right there
Paddy wrote a letter
To his Irish Molly O'
Saying, "Should you not receive it
Write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in "spelling"
Molly dear", said he
"Remember it's the pen, that's bad
Don't lay the blame on me"
It's a long way to
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to
To the sweetest girl I know
Goodbye Piccadilly
Farewell Leicester Square
It's a long long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there
Molly wrote a neat reply
To Irish Paddy O'
Saying, "Mike Maloney wants
To marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly
Or you'll be to blame
For love has fairly drove me silly
Hoping you're the same!"
It's a long way to
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye
Farewell Leicester Square
It's a long long way to
But my heart's right there
