OPENER   

Single file promenade
Young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground

Face the partner dosado, back to back and go
Reverse the dosado and reverse single file go
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town

Face partner dosado
Reverse the dosado settle on down

FIGURE    C4, no progression

Circle left
*Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough

Couple number one rip and snort
Through the arch go till you are home
Partner right with a right arm turn
Corner by the left, then promenade your own
**You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?


**I said, young man, you can make real your dreams
But you've got to know this one thing!


*No man does it all by himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf


**And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.
I'm sure they can help you today


*Young man, I was once in your shoes
I said, I was down and out with the blues


**I felt no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Single file promenade
(hands up) Y-M-C-A, Y-M-C-A
Face the partner dosado
Reverse the dosado, reverse single file go
(hands up) Y-M-C-A, Y-M-C-A
Face partner dosado, reverse the dosado
