If You're Gonna Be Dumb You Gotta Be Tough | (Riverboat 1406) Tim Tyl |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
*If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
Men star right
When you get knocked down you gotta get back up
Allemande left, right & left grand
I ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know enough
To know... Swing, promenade
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
(On beats 6-8, pre-cue Heads (Sides) Square Thru on opener/break, or 4 Ladies Chain 4/4 on closer)
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
If you're gonna do stupid stuff you're gonna get hurt
I ain't the brightest bulb on the tree but I know enough to know
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
*If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
If you're gonna do stupid stuff you're gonna get hurt
I ain't the brightest bulb on the tree but I know enough to know
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Heads (Sides) square thru
*Y'all hold my beer and watch this, I saw it on YouTube, I think I can do it
Make a right-hand star, turn star one time
Heads (Sides) star left in the middle, one full turn to the same two
Right & left thru the outside two, with same girl half sashay
In front of you, shake hands, go right & left grand
Next you meet you'll promenade
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Get me a big stick and I'll whack that hornet's nest, I'm fast, I can outrun 'em
*Y'all watch me dive off this cliff into that river, naw don't need to check the water, it looks deep
*I think I'll take a short cut through the pasture, I ain't worried about that bull, I can run faster
TAG
Four ladies chain FOUR quarters
If you're gonna do stupid stuff, you're gonna get hurt
If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
