(Opener): Grand Square
I wish you smelled a little funny - not just funny really bad
We could roam the streets forever - Just like cats but we'd never stray Allemande Left & Weave
I sometimes wish you were a mermaid - I could raise you in the tub at home Swing Promenade
We could take a swim together - On weekly day trips to the bay
People say - there are plenty of fish - In the sea, baby - all I do is wish Allemande Left & Weave
I wish you were a little slower - Not just slow but paralised Swing Promenade
Then I could plug you into a socket - So you could never run away
I often wish that you had feathers - I’d keep you in a giant cage
All day long I’d sit and watch you - I’d sing for you and that would be okay AL & Weave
I really wish that you were smaller - Not just small but really really short Swing Promenade
So I could put you in my pocket - And carry you around all day
(Tag): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE Oh you and me - it would be only you and me –
Oh you and me - it would be only you and me
(Figure 1&4): Oh you and me - l‘ll be only you (and me)
(Figure 2&3): I’d sing for you (and that would be okay)
ORIGINAL LYRICS:
I wish you smelled a little funny
Not just funny really bad
We could roam the streets forever
Just like cats but we'd never stray
I sometimes wish you were a mermaid
I could raise you in the tub at home
We could take a swim together
On weekly day trips to the bay
Oh you and me - it would be only you and me
Oh you and me - it would be only you and me
I wish you were a little bigger
Not just big but really fat
Doors you would no longer fit through
In my bed you would have to stay
I often wish that you had feathers
I’d keep you in a giant cage
All day long I’d sit and watch you
I’d sing for you and that would be okay
People say - there
are plenty of fish
In the sea, baby - all I do is wish
I wish you were a little slower
Not just slow but paralised
Then I could plug
you into a socket
So you could never run away
I really wish that you were smaller
Not just small but really really short
So I could put you in my pocket
And carry you around all day
