two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whisky bottles piling high

Allemande left and weave
Bootlegging boozer on the west side,
Full of people who are doing wrong

Swing, promenade
Just about to call up the DA man
When I heard this woman singing a song


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru 4
Swing thru, boys run, wheel & deal
Eight chain 4
A pair of moneybags made me open my eyes
Swing your corner, promenade
She was a long, cool woman in a black dress
And that long, cool woman had it all


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
I saw her heading to the table
Well a tall walking big black cat
Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy
Cause I'm telling you she knows where..."

Allemande left and weave
Suddenly we hear the sirens
Everybody started to run

Swing, promenade
Jumping under doors and tables
Well I heard somebody shooting a gun


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
The DA was pumping my left hand
And she was a-holding my right
Well I told her "Don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared, I'm gonna be forgiven"

Allemande left and weave
With a long, cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall

Swing, promenade
Just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long, cool woman had it all


TAG

Sides face, grand square
Had it all
