Elmer’s Tune    (RIV 338)  Tim Marriner

OPENER



Grand Square
Whay are the stars always winkin’ and blinkin’ above?
What makes a fella start thinkin’ of fallin’ in love?
It’s not the season, the reason is plane as the moon
It’s just Elmer’s tune.
Four ladies Promenade, go one time inside that old ring
Come back, Swing and whirl your man around then Promenade I sing.
It’s not the season, the reason is plane as the moon.
It’s just Elmer’s tune.

FIGURE



Heads [sides] Square Thru go four hands around that old floor
And when you meet the Sides [heads] turn a Right Hand Star of four
Full around so the Heads [sides] can Star Left in the middle of the set
Come back to the same two you left
You’ll Single Circle, rare back, Star Thru, and turn to face
Swing and whirl this corner then Promenade this place
It’s not the season, the reason is plane as the moon.
It’s just Elmer’s tune.

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER



Grand Square
Listen. Listen.
There’s a lot you’re liable to be missin’.
Sing it; swing it
Any old time and any old way
Four ladies Promenade go one time inside that old ring.
Come back Swing and whirl your man around, then Promenade I sing.
* What puts the kick in a chicken, the magic of June?*
It’s just Elmer’s tune.
