A link to this and some other dances was posted to the English Country Dance list but this, well this is one of my all-time most favoritist tunes and dances. Morpeth, I love thee!

Music by Robert B. Sherman, Richard M. Sherman and George Stiles
Lyrics by Robert B. Sherman, Richard M. Sherman and Anthony Drewe

(Oh – and don’t say you didn’t notice the Pearlies, earlier in the film…)
