two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

All 4 ladies circle left on the inside of the ring
Back out at home, all join hands
And circle to the left I sing
Hey the men star by the right, you're gonna roll it round I say
Do an allemande left that corner girl
And weave around that ring
And I'll say, Mister Aladdin, sir
What would your pleasure be?

Swing that lady go round and promenade you see
Life is your restaurant and I'm your maitre'd
Come on whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads square thru and go 4 hands around I say
And then you dosado that corner lady, gonna make your wave
Swing thru go two by two and then the boys run right
You've gotta bend the line and a right & left thru
Turn that girl tonight
You pass the ocean then, recycle round you see
Swing and whirl that corner lady and promenade for me
*Try some from column "A" and all of column "B"
I'm in the mood to help you dude
You ain't never had a friend like me


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Life is your restaurant and I'm your maitre'd
Come on whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
We pride ourselves on service
You're the boss, the king, the shah
Say what you wish, it's yours, true dish
How 'bout a little more baklava?

Hey the men star by the right, you're gonna roll it round I say
Do an allemande left that corner girl and weave around that ring
You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp

Swing that lady go round and then
You're gonna promenade like that
And I'll say whoa ho, yeah, yeah, woo woo

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
We pride ourselves on service
You're the boss, the king, the shah
Say what you wish, it's yours, true dish
How 'bout a little more baklava?

Hey the men star by the right, you're gonna roll it round I say
Do an allemande left that corner girl and weave around that ring
Mr. Aladdin, sir, what would your pleasure be?
Swing that lady go round and then you promenade for me
Oh, Mr. Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a friend like me
