I wish you smelled a little funny - not just funny really bad
MEN STAR RIGHT – roam the streets forever
Just like cats – ALLEMANDE LEFT and you WEAVE
I sometimes wish you were a mermaid
I could raise you in the tub at home
We could take a swim together
On weekly day trips to the bay
(Figure): The HEADS/SIDES SQUARE THRU and count it 4 hands round now
Find the outsides do a DOSADO – SWING THRU and
then ... you SPIN your TOP now
Boys move up and ... RECYCLE around
(Figure 1&3 - ending): SWEEP A QUARTER more, ... REVERSE your FLUTTER
VEER to the RIGHT, take her hands PROMENADE
(Figure 2&4 - ending): REVERSE your FLUTTER moving along
WHEEL AROUND, ... more and PROMENADE
(Figure 1&4):
Oh you and me - l‘ll be only you (and me)
(Figure 2&3):
All day long I’d sit and watch you
I’d sing for you (and that would be okay)
People say - there are plenty of fish
In the sea, baby - all I do is wish
FOUR Ladies PROMENADE one time around now
SWING with your boy and P – P – PROMENADE
Then I could plug you into a socket
So you could never run away
I often wish that you had feathers
I’d keep you in a giant cage
MEN STAR RIGHT – I’d sit and watch you
I’d sing for you – ALLEMANDE LEFT and you WEAVE
I really wish that you were smaller
Not just small but really really short
So I could put you in my pocket
And carry you around all day
(Tag): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
Oh you and me - it would be only you and me
Oh you and me - it would be only you and me
ORIGINAL LYRICS:
I wish you smelled a little funny
Not just funny really bad
We could roam the streets forever
Just like cats but we'd never stray
I sometimes wish you were a mermaid
I could raise you in the tub at home
We could take a swim together
On weekly day trips to the bay
Oh you and me - it would be only you and me
Oh you and me - it would be only you and me
I wish you were a little bigger
Not just big but really fat
Doors you would no longer fit through
In my bed you would have to stay
I often wish that you had feathers
I’d keep you in a giant cage
All day long I’d sit and watch you
I’d sing for you and that would be okay
People say - there are plenty of fish
In the sea, baby - all I do is wish
I wish you were a little slower
Not just slow but paralised
Then I could plug you into a socket
So you could never run away
I really wish that you were smaller
Not just small but really really short
So I could put you in my pocket
And carry you around all day
