two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Sides face grand square
* On the south side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
Well if you go down there, you better beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown

Four ladies promenade and everybody sing
Bad, bad, Leroy Brown
Swing a doll and promenade the town
He's badder than ole King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog


LYRICS (ALTERNATE)

*Now Leroy, he's a gambler
And he likes his fancy clothes
He likes to wear his diamond ring
In front of everybody's nose


* He's got a custom Continental
He's got an El Dorado too
He's got a .32 gun in his pocket for fun
And a razor in his shoe


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade halfway
Sides (heads) right & left thru
Square thru 4 hands, dosado
Eight chain 4
Bad, bad, Leroy Brown
Swing corner, promenade
He's badder than ole King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)

Heads (sides) promenade halfway
Down the middle, pass the ocean go
Extend the tag, swing thru, boys run
Bend the line, right & left thru, flutter wheel
Sing, bad, bad Leroy Brown
Slide thru, swing corner, promenade
He's badder than ole King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
