Christmas Carol    (LM 352)  Don Wood

OPENER



Grand Square
I was playing Santa Clause downtown on Christmas Eve
When a little girl of 3 or 4 climbed up on my knee
I saw she had a question behind thos eyes of blue
So I asked her what her name was
Allemande Left and Weave you do
She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day,
I don’t know who my daddy is and mamma’s gon away,
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home,
Doesn’t anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own.

FIGURE



Head pair promenade go half way round the hall
Down the middle and square thru 4 hands you all
Go all the way around and you do the Right and Left Thru
Veer left and circulate why don't we go by twos
Half Tag and Scoot Back that corner lady swing
Swing amd whirl that pretty girl and promenade around the ring
All she wants for Christmas is someone to take her home,
Doesn’t anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own.

MIDDLE BREAK



All 4 Ladies promenade once inside the ring,
Get back home and swing your man around the ring I sing,
Join up hands and Circle to the left go round the ring,
Allemande Left your corner then you weave the ring.
She said my name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day,
I don’t know who my daddy is and mamma’s gon away,
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home,
Doesn’t anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own.

CLOSER



Grand Square
Early that next morning I got up and dialed the phone
I made a few arrangements with the County Childrens Home,
They said it would be alright to pick her up today
And now my Christmas Carol won’t ever have to say
Allemande Left and Weave
My name is Christmas Carol, I was born on Christmas day,
I don’t know who my daddy is and mamma’s gone away,
All I want for Christmas is someone to take me home,
Doesn’t anybody want a Christmas Carol of their own.
