Average People

two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade go halfway round now
Come down the middle and square thru you know
Go all the way around, right & left thru and turn the girl
You dive thru and pass thru and spin chain thru
*The fightin' men say that I'm a coward
Box the gnat, well now you do the right & left thru
And then you dive thru and pass thru and square thru
3/4 round and swing the corner girl, promenade
Well now it's funny I don't fit
Where have all the average people gone?


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*The gentle people call me "troublemaker"

*The wealthy people say that I'm a hobo

*The poor people think that I'm a rich man

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic

Circle left
The people in the city call me "country"
Because of how I walk and talk and smile

Do an allemande left and allemande thar
Go forward two and star
Really I'm just trying to get along
Well then you shoot that star go all the way around
To the corner box the gnat
Do a dosado go once around and then, weave the ring
Well I don't mind them laughin' in the city
You meet your girl with a dosado, and then, promenade
Funny I don't fit
Where have all the average people gone?


TAG

Well now it's funny I don't fit
Where have all the average people gone?
