two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I'm just a gigolo, everywhere I go
People know the part I'm playing
Paid for every dance, selling each romance
Every night some heart betraying
, Allemande left and weave
There will come a day youth will pass away
Then what will they say about me
When the end comes I know, they'll say just a gigolo
As life goes on without me


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads promenade, halfway round you go
Down the middle pass the ocean, extend now
Recycle, and then, veer left my friend
Chain down the line, turn the girl now
Boys walk, girls dodge, scoot back and then
Swing and promenade now
When the end comes I know they'll say just a gigolo
As life goes on without me


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I . . . . . . ain't got nobody, (nobody)
Allemande left, turn partner right
Allemande left and weave
I'm so sad and lone-ly, (Sad and lonely sad and lonely)
Won't some sweet mama, come and take a chance with me
(Cause I ain't so bad)

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I . . . . . . ain't got nobody, (nobody)
Allemande left, turn partner right
Allemande left and weave
I'm so sad and lone-ly, sad and lonely sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mama, come and take a chance with me
(I'm bad!)
