two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*You're the only one that I need
And, baby, you know it (know it, know it, know it)

Allemande left the corner, turn the partner by the right
Allemande the corner, weave it tonight
Bend me, shape me, any way you want me
**Swing your girl and then you all promenade
Bend me, shape me, any way you want me
You've got the power to turn on the light


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*You can make this beggar a king
A clown or a poet (poet, poet, poet)


**As long as you love me, it's all right

FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade, take 'em halfway around
Walk in and square thru, 4 hands around
Go all the way and then, do the right & left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel into the middle you do
Square thru to 3, to the corner for me
Swing the corner lady, promenade 'round the ring
Bend me, shape me, any way you want me
You've got the power to turn on the light


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Everybody tells me I'm wrong, to want you so badly
But there's a force driving me on; I follow it gladly

Allemande left the corner, turn the partner by the right
Allemande the corner, weave it tonight
Bend me, shape me, any way you want me
**Swing your girl and then you all promenade
Bend me, shape me, any way you want me
You've got the power to turn on the light
