two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone
Judy left the same time
Why was he holdin' her hand
When he's supposed to be mine

Allemande left and weave
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to
Swing with your girl and promenade round the ring now
You would cry too if it happened to you

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Play all my records, keep dancin' all night
Leave me alone for a while
'Til Johnny's dancin' with me
I've got no reason to smile


*Judy and Johnny just walked through the door
Like a queen with her king
Oh what a birthday surprise
Judy's wearing his ring


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade halfway around
Walk in and square thru to four
Go all the way then a right & left thru
Pass thru, trade by, touch 1/4, scoot back and then
Scoot back again, star thru and promenade round the ring
You would cry too if it happened to you

Contains a "blended" movement: Scoot Back followed by Star Thru.
