Lollipop Man is not an Adderbury Dance, but a Ducklington dance. However, Mersey Morris
Men dance it as an Adderbury Dance, so here it is :
Set : Three dancers in a column. Hankies. Double
stepping, side steps and capers. Start in a triangle. 1 and 2 at top. 3 in middle behind
them. Dancers about 2M apart.
Music : Lollipop Man
