One Piece At A Time
(SIR 22016) Paul Bristow
OPENER
Grand Square
Well, I left Kentucky back in forty nine
- An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadillacs
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
- And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black
Circle Left
I'd get it one piece at a time - and it wouldn't cost me a dime
Left Allemande come back and Promenade
I'm gonna ride around in style - I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
FIGURE
Well now the Head two couples Promenade - Halfway around with pretty little maid
Come down the middle and do a full Square Thru
All the way around to the outside two Right And Left Thru and turn you do
Veer Left and the Couples Circulate
Half Tag - Scootback Across you go
Swing your girl like Cotton Eyed Joe - take her by the hand and Promenade her home
I'm gonna ride around in style - I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
Now, up to now my plan went all right
- 'til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong
The transmission was a fifty three
- And the motor turned out to be a seventy three
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone
Circle Left
I'd get it one piece at a time - and it wouldn't cost me a dime
Left Allemande come back and Promenade
I'm gonna ride around in style - I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
CLOSER
Grand Square
The back end looked kinda funny too
- But we put it together and when we got through
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
- And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin"
Circle Left
I'd get it one piece at a time - and it wouldn't cost me a dime
Left Allemande come back and Promenade
I'm gonna ride around in style - I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around
TAG
Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56, '57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69, '70 automobile
Swing your girl - and I’ve got the only one there is around!
