Florida (TOP 25039) Fred Christopher

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Allemande left then swing your girl from Florida
The men star left just once around to Florida
Turn a right hand round with your partner
Your corner with your left hand
The girls star right, go once around
Same old gent left allemande
Grand old right & left around to Florida
Promenade when you meet your girl in Florida
You'll whisper I love you too
It's swinging time in the sunny clime of Florida

FIGURE

Allemande left with the corner lady, swing your date
The heads to the right circle to a line in the Sunshine State
Go forward 8, back in time, pass thru, bend the line
Gonna rock it forward, rock it back, a right & left thru and turn 'em Jack
Square thru 4 hands around there with your maid
Swing your corner lady round, then promenade
Take a stroll through the tropical playground
*You'll find it a lover's delight
It's swinging time in the sunny clime of Florida

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*With the orange sun up above

*'Neath the grapefruit moon in the sky

ALTERNATE FIGURE #1

Heads to the right, circle to a line in the Sunshine State

Now you pass thru, bend the line, gonna rock it up and back
Do a dixie twirl, then a frontier whirl, cross trail thru and don't look back
Allemande left with the corner lady, pass your maid
Swing and whirl the right hand girl and promenade
Take a stroll through the tropical splendor
'Neath the grapefruit moon up above
It's swinging time in the sunny clime of Florida

ALTERNATE FIGURE #2

1 & 3 go right & left thru, turn your date
Lead out to the right, circle to a line in the Sunshine State
Just pass thru and wheel across
With the next go right & left thru
Turn your girl, do a left square thru
'Neath that grapefruit moon above
Then you allemande left with the corner lady, pass your maid
Y'all swing and whirl the right hand girl and promenade
Promenade through the tropical playground
You'll find it a lover's delight
It's swinging time in the sunny clime of Florida
