OPENER Basic

In the summertime when the weather is high
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
Walk all around your corner, see saw your own
Allemande left your corner, weave the ring
If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal
Swing your girl, promenade, just do what you feel
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Hey now the heads spin the top, all the way 'round you do
Move on up and then you swing thru

Scoot back across, swing and promenade the ring

We go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea
