When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going Billy Ocean 1985 | (Knee-Deep Melodies 178) Chris Froggatt |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
I got something to tell you, I got something to say
Hey now the men star right, roll it one time you know
Left allemande, well you weave round the ring
When the going gets tough (the tough get going)
Swing your girl, and then you promenade
When the going gets tough (the tough get going)
When the going gets rough (the tough get rough)
FIGURE Mainstream, no progression
Heads pass the ocean, extend
Girls trade, swing thru and then
Boys cross run, ladies chain down the line
Turn the girls, slide thru, eight chain 2
(When the going gets tough)
Touch 1/4, scoot back, swing your corner, promenade
When the going gets tough (the tough get going)
When the tough get rough (the tough get rough)
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
I'm gonna buy me a one-way ticket, nothing's gonna hold me back
Hey now the men star right, roll it one time you know
Left allemande, well you weave round the ring
When the going gets tough (the tough get going)
Swing your girl, and then you promenade
When the going gets tough (the tough get going)
When the going gets tough (the tough get rough)
TAG
When the going gets rough, the rough get tough
