Lyrics of Classic Singing Calls

Some square dance singers are classics.  Some everyone knows and sings along with.  Some everyone knows of but cannot dance the figure.  Well, here are all the words, so you can both dance them and sing along.

Pickle Up a Doodle

One of the classic ``hard singers.''  Complex, fast circle choreography, with no 2x4 formations.  (time: 4:00)
 

Pussy Cat

Another classically hard singer, similar in style to ``Pickle Up a Doodle.''  (time: 3:40)
 

Running Bear

Often named with ``Pickle Up a Doodle'' and ``Pussy Cat'' as hard, but its trickiness is only because of arky positioning.  (time: 3:20)
 

Riverboat

More circle-based choreography.  Is this easier than the first two, or does it just get done at Tech Squares enough that everyone knows it?  Dennis Marsh does a particularly nice rendition.  (time: 4:20)
 

Summer Sounds

The ever-popular sing-along.  (time: 3:48)
