Sides face grand square
Santa never brings me a banjo
And I can never understand why
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry (Allemande and weave)
Santa never brings me a banjo, And I can never understand why (Swing and promenade)
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry

Head two couples promenade, go halfway
Come down the middle do the right & left thru
Flutter wheel across, then sweep 1/4 more
Now pass thru and do a right & left thru
Swing thru and do that two times
You swing the corner, promenade on by
Every Christmas Eve I see it in my dreams
But every Christmas morning I cry

Sides face grand square
My brother got the train that he asked for
My sister even got a violin
How does he miss the one thing on my list
In the letter that I sent to him (Allemande and weave)
I told him how hard I would practice
Told him I would play so loud (Swing and promenade)
That high lonesome sound would fill up the town
And I'd make my parents so proud

Sides face grand square
I ask my parents if they know why
Santa always leaves me sad
I do well in school, I follow the rules
And I don't think I've been so bad (Allemande and weave)
Maybe it's too much for the workshop
Maybe it's too tricky for the elves (Swing and promenade)
Since I'll never understand I think I'm gonna plan
To buy one for myself

Allemande and swing
Since I'll never understand I think I'm gonna plan
To buy one for myself
