If I Ruled The World
Tony Bennett; many others 1963
  (Sting 373)   Paul Bristow
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
If I ruled the world
Every day would be the first day of spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy

Allemande left and weave the ring
If I ruled the world, every man would...
Swing his girl and promenade
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word - we would treasure each day that occurred


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway
My world's a beautiful place
Walk in and square thru go four
A right & left thru, and keep a smile on your face
Pass thru, trade by and then star thru
Square thru go three, swing your corner girl and promenade for me
There'd be happiness that no man could end
No my friend - not if I ruled the world


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
If I ruled the world - every man would be as free as a bird
Every voice would be a voice to be heard - take my word

Allemande left and weave the ring
If I ruled the world, every man would
Swing his girl and promenade
Every heart would have a new song to sing
And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring


CLOSER (with TAG)    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
If I ruled the world - every man would say the world was his friend
There'd be happiness that no man could end - no my friend, not if I...

Allemande left and weave the ring
Every head would be held up high
Swing and promenade
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky
If the day ever dawned when I - ruled - the - world
