two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Halloween in Tijuana, full moon in my eyes
I wonder how in the heck I got here without a disguise

Men star by the right hand, turn around the ring
Allemande left your corner weave around and sing
Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico!
Do the desperation samba con nos amigos!
I want to dance in Mexico
Do the desperation samba with all of my friends


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Pretty girls they beckon from their rooms above
Skeletons are dancing in the name of love


*Hear the people singing the same old haunting tune I dance because I know it's me against the moon

FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Head (side) couples promenade halfway around the floor
Come down the middle and square thru and make sure you count to four
All the way and then do the right & left thru for me
Veer to the left and a ferris wheel and you move to the middle of the ring
Centers square thru three hands around and then
Swing the corner lady and promenade my friend Yo quiero a bailar en Mexico!
Do the desperation samba con nos amigos!
