OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Too old, too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore

Allemande left that corner girl, come back and dosado
Allemande that corner, weave the ring
He's gettin' too old, too old
Swing that girl around and promenade
He's gettin' too old, too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads square thru now, 4 hands around you go
Find that corner waitin' there, then you do a dosado
Swing thru go 2 by 2, boys run right that's what you do
Ferris wheel to the middle of the ring
Right & left thru with the pretty little thing
A full turn around, swing your corner lady
Swing that girl around and promenade
He's gettin' too old, too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 11

Circle left
I used to could jump a picket fence
Now I'm lucky if I jump an inch

Allemande left on the corner girl, dosado your partner there
All 4 boys star by the left, once around the ring you go
Box the gnat and pull her by, allemande left and weave the ring
Too old, too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore
He's gettin' too old, too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
When I was young I had an automobile
I'd scoot myself right under that wheel
Had to fight the girls off with a stick
Now they say, "he makes me sick"

Allemande left with the corner girl
Dosado your partner there
All 4 boys star by the left, once around the ring you go
Turn that star around, find your lady there
Swing that girl around and promenade
He's gettin' too old, too old
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore


TAG

Swing he good
He's too old to cut the mustard anymore
