one column

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Crossin' the highway late last night
He should'a looked left and he should'a looked right

Men star right one time around
Allemande left and weave
He didn't see the station wagon car
The skunk got squashed and there you are

Swing and promenade
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade halfway
Pass the ocean, extend, hinge, scoot back
Boys run, right & left thru
Dixie style, boys cross fold
Swing and promenade
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
*You got it, it's dead


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*C'mon stink

*You got pollution, man

*Technicolor, man

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Yeah, you got yer dead cat and you got your dead dog
On a moonlit night you got yer dead toad frog

Men star right one time around
Left allemande and weave
Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon
The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon

Swing and promenade
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose
Roll up yer window and hold yer nose

Men star right one time around
Allemande left and weave
You don't have to look and you don't have to see
Cause you can feel it in your ol-factory

Swing and promenade
You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road
Stinkin' to high heaven
