The Merry Christmas Rag
(SSR 256) Corben Geis/Bruce Williamson
OPENER
Grand Square
Once again it's that time of Year
time for egg nog and christmas cheer
it's been so long since I'se in the mood
but this year there's twice the food
Allemande and Weave
So get your baby doll and mistletoe
look out the window at all the snow
It's finally here, no more kids will nag
Let's do the Merry Christmas Rag
FIGURE
Heads Square Thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a Right Hand Star
The Heads Star Left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a Dosado
Swing Thru and then the Boys Trade
Swing the corner lady round and Promenade
My sleigh's outside and the toys in the bag
Let's do the Merry Christmas Rag
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
I hear sleigh bells up on the roof
no time to act shy or aloof
well, who could it be but ole Santa himself
accompanied by one of his elves
Allemande and Weave
I stuck down the chimney so I came through the door
Swing your lady round and promenade that floor
It's finally here, no more kids will nag
Let's do the Merry Christmas Rag
CLOSER
Grand Square
Jack Frost is decked out in that suit
Missis Santa Claus is playing the flute
the elves on summer was running loose
make way now for the Christmas goose
Allemande and Weave
The toys all just happen on their drums
They go a ratty tap tap and arummy tum tum
It's finally here, no more kids will nag
Let's do the Merry Christmas Rag
TAG
