Watching Tanya/Shania GrowRIV-473
Joe Saltel

OPENER

Sides face, Grand Square
Ridin' on Daddy's shoulder, it's off to bed
Little sleepyhead, that's my girl
Gotta have a drink of water and a story read
A teddy bear named Ted, that's my girl

Allemande and Weave
In a few short years I've gone from rags to riches
What I did before that, I don't know
Just let it rain on the windowpane, I've got my own rainbow
Bidin' my time and watchin' Tanya grow

Break Lyrics

Ridin' bikes, playin' dolls and Nintendo
Playin' piano, that's my girl
Dancin' to a group called "New Kids On The Block"
Oh, what a shock! — that's my girl
...
Daddy, do you really have to leave to call a dance now?
Wish I could, but I'll be back in an hour or so
I think I'll stay right here and say another prayer before I go
Me and Mommy watchin' Tanya grow

Closer Lyrics

Tanya's all grown up now, and she has her own
Her very own...miracle
Her name's Shania, and we love her so
Just one year old...what a girl!
...
Nana and Poppa just can't wait to see her
It feels like forever between the times we do
Our little girl's grown up and is a mother of her own
We're all sittin' here shinin' watchin' Shania grow


FIGURE

Heads Promenade go Halfway 'round
Into the middle and Pass the Ocean there, Extend
Swing Thru and then, Boy Trade, Spin the Top
Move up and Recycle here, Slide Thru and the Corner Swing
Keep her and Promenade and go
Just let it rain on the windowpane, I've got my own rainbow
Bidin' my time and watchin' Tanya grow

Alternate figure tag (#3 & #4)

I think I'll stay right here and say another prayer before I go
Me and Mommy watchin' Tanya grow

TAG

No tag

Original Lyrics for Bobby Goldsboro's "Watching Scotty Grow"

There he sits with a pen and a yellow pad
What a handsome lad, that's my boy
BRLFQ spells mom and dad
Well that ain't too bad, that's my boy
You can have your TV and your nightclubs
And you can have your drive in picture show
I'll stay here with my little man near, we'll listen to the radio
Biding my time and watching Scotty grow


Making a castle out of building blocks
And a cardboard box, that's my boy
Mickey Mouse says it's thirteen o'clock
Well that's quite a shock! That's my boy
In four short years I've gone from rags to riches
And what I did before that I don't know
So let it rain on my windowpane, I got my own rainbow
And we're sitting here shining watching Scotty grow


Riding on daddy's shoulders off to bed
Old sleepy head, That's my boy
Got to have a drink of water and a story read
A teddy bear named Fred, that's my boy
What's that you say momma, come on and keep you feet warm
Well save me a place, I'll be there in a minute or so
I'll think I'll stay right here and say a little prayer before I go
Me and God, Watching Scotty grow
