OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*I could tell they were nervous
When they saw me at the service
And the preacher asked if anyone had anything to say

Left allemande the corner, turn a right hand round your partner
Left allemande then weave around the ring
He's a rub-a-dubbin' in my tub, sleepin' in my bed
Swing your girl around and you promenade
When they said "I do" I jumped up and said "thank you"
'Cause my alimony just stopped today


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Every morning he gets up, fires up my old pickup truck
He used to work one job, thanks to her he's now got two


FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)    Mainstream, corner progression

Head two couples square thru four hands around you do
Dosado that corner, make your wave and then
Swing thru tonight, let the boys run to the right
Tag your line and face it to the right, wheel and deal
You turn thru to the corner, do a left allemande
Swing a new girl around and you promenade
He thinks he's got her right down to a "T"
He's just the next ex of my old used-to-be
