one column

OPENER    Basic

Circle left
Have you seen the old man
In the closed-down market
Kicking up the paper with his worn out shoes?

Walk around your corner see saw your partner
Allemande your corner and weave around you do
So how can you tell me that you're lonely?
Swing and promenade in time
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head couples square thru, it's 4 hands around now
All the way to the corner, you make a right hand star
Heads star left and turn it one time around now
Go back to that corner and do a dosado, slide thru
And square thru and count 3/4 round
Swing and promenade in time
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic

Circle left
Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?

Walk around your corner
See saw your partner
Allemande your corner and weave around the land
So how can you tell me that you're lonely?
Swing and promenade in time
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind


CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with the medal ribbons that he wears?

Walk around your corner see saw your partner
Allemande your corner
And weave around the square
So how can you tell me that you're lonely?
Swing and promenade in time
Let me take you by the hand and lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something to make you change your mind
