A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square
Bobby Darin; Frank Sinatra; many others 1939
  (Sting 713)   Thorsten Geppert
 
two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies chain, turn that girl
You turn and chain her back home
You join hands, circle 'round you know
My baby now, allemande left and weave
I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads promenade your baby halfway down
Walk in, square thru get four hands 'round
It's all the way over and a right & left thru
Veer left and circulate your girl one time
Half tag, scoot back, your corner baby swing
Swing there with your girl, promenade
*And when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*With that hazy, crazy night we met
When a nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square


TAG

A nightingale sang in Berkeley
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair

Left allemande your corner baby, turn your partner right,
Left allemande and weave
How strange it was, how sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
With that hazy, crazy night we met
When a nightingale sang in Berk'ley Square
