OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
*Twelve hundred miles its length and breadth
That four square cities stand
Its gem set walls of jasper shines
They're not made by human hands

Allemande left and weave
**One hundred miles its gates are wide, abundant entrance there
With fifty miles of elbow room on either side to spare


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*When the gates swing wide on the other side
Just beyond the sunset sea
They'll be room to spare as we enter there
They'll be room for you and room for me


**For the gates are wide on the other side
Where the fairest flowers bloom
On the right hand and on the left hand
Fifty miles of elbow room


*Sometimes I'm cramped and I'm crowded here
And I long for elbow room
I long to reach for altitude
Where the fairest flowers bloom


**It won't be long before I pass into that city fair
With fifty miles of elbow room on either side to spare


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru four hands around
Dosado the corner there to an ocean wave
Swing thru, boys run right, ferris wheel around
Centers pass thru, slide thru, square thru three
Swing the corner lady, promenade
With fifty miles of elbow room on either side to spare

TAG

On either side to spare
