OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Oh the wind whistles down the cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe

Allemande left your corner, come home and dosado
Four boys star by the left one full turn and go
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
Meet your partner and you turn her by the right
Allemande left and then you promenade
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight?


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads pass the ocean, recycle 'round tonight
Double pass thru, track two
Gonna feel all right
Do an acey deucey and then the girls you run
Couples circulate one time around the ring for fun
Crossfire and then boys run to the right
Swing your corner lady and promenade her home tonight
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight?


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
So you're heading down the road - in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home till four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew

Allemande left your corner and you weave the ring
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you meet your partner and you turn her by the right
Allemande left and then you promenade
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go
Where you gonna sleep tonight?


MIDDLE BREAK (ALTERNATE)    Basic

Circle left
So you're heading down the road - in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door

Walk around your corner, see saw your own
Allemande left your corner, weave the ring and go
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
Swing your lady 'round and then you promenade tonight
Wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?


TAG

Swing your girl
Where do you think you're gonna sleep tonight?
