Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cuckoo Waltz
Cuckoo Waltz is a Waltz Quadrille and we danced it back in the 1930s with 4 couples to the square.It was similar to Birdie in the Cage except it was in Waltz time where Birdie In The Cage was in square dance or hoedown time.The words were as follows

Three times around the cuckoo clock
Three times around the cuckoo clock
Three times around the cuckoo clock
To the lovely Susie Brown

Fare thee well my charming girl
Fare the well I'm gone
Fare the weii my charming girl
With golden slippers on

Choose your pardner as we go round
Choose your pardner as we go round
Choose your pardner as we go round
We'll all take Susie Brown

Fare the well my charming girl
Fare thee well I'm gone
Fare thee well my charming girl
With the golden slippers on

It also depended on who the caller was because each one would add a different verse but this is what I remember.Louie Roy
