BASIC 1

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Dear, when you smiled at me, I heard a melody

4 Men Star Right, from the start

Allemande Left, Weave that Ring

Something inside of me…

Swing and Promenade for me

Zing!... Went the strings, of my heart

FIGURE

Heads Promenade and go Halfway

Walk in, Square Thru go four now

All the way, Right & Left Thru for me

Veer Left, Couples Circulate you see

Chain down the Line for me, keep her

Promenade in harmony

Zing!... Went the strings, of my heart

 MIDDLE BREAK

Circle Left

twas like a breath of spring, I heard a robin sing

4 Men Star Right, from the start

Allemande Left and Weave that Ring

All nature seemed to be…

Swing and Promenade for me

Zing!... Went the strings, of my heart

CLOSER

Circle Left

I still recall that thrill, I guess I always will

4 Men Star Right, from the start

Allemande Left and Weave that Ring

I knew I loved you heaps,

And you were mine for keeps

Zing!... Went the strings, of my heart

TAG

Swing her there.

Zing!... Went the strings, of my heart

ORIGINAL LYRICS

[Intro:]


Never could carry a tune, never knew where to start
You came along when everything was wrong and put a song in my heart

Dear when you smiled at me, I heard a melody
It haunted me from the start
Something inside of me started a symphony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart

'Twas like a breath of spring, heard a robin sing
About a nest set apart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart

Your eyes made skies blue again
What else could I do again
Keep repeating through again
"I love you, love you"

I still recall the thrill, guess I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart

[instrumental]

Your eyes made skies blue again
What else could I do again?
Keep repeating through again
"I love you, I do love you"

I still recall the thrill, I guess that I always will
I hope 'twill never depart
All nature seemed to be in perfect harmony
Zing! Went the strings of my heart
