Originaltext

No milk today

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we turned night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we turned night into day
As music played, the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
 

Singing Call Sheet

No milk today

Open/break/close
Sides face, grand square
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't konw the reason why
Four ladies promenade inside the ring you go
Get back and swing and whirl your boy and then you promenade
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

Figure
Heads square thru count it four hands around now
With the corner lady there you dosado in time
Swing thru and now the boy you run right now
Bend the line and do the right and left thru
You pass the ocean, please, recycle ‘round and swing
Swing and whirl that girl and then you promenade that ring
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen


Tag
Allemande left and swing your girl
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
