The Gal Behind The Man Behind The Mike

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Those hard working callers, driving day and night
Have got to call a square dance or two
Driving down the highway, living out on the road
Is not a job just anyone can do

Allemande and weave
He may be gone three days, or maybe two weeks
Swing the girl, promenade
She pays the bills, goes shopping, feeds the kids what they like
The girl behind the man, behind the mike


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Those heads promenade go halfway around
Walk in and square thru to four now
Go all the way around and a right & left thru
Veer left, ferris wheel
Centers sweep 1/4, lead right
Swing the corner, promenade
Does the bills, cuts the grass, feeds the kids what they like
The gal behind the man, behind the mike


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
This special breed of woman has to share a love affair
With callers and choreo on his mind
She knows that he loves her more than anything
She's a callers wife, and that's the greatest kind

Allemande and weave
She answers his phone, keeps his calendar just right
Swing your girl around and promenade
Cuts the grass, pays the bills, feeds the kids what they like
She's the gal behind the man, behind the mike


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
And as he sips his coffee, you can bet she's on his mind
When he's driving down the highway headed home
Sleeping sure gets lonely in those motels every night
Compared to being in her arms at home

Allemande and weave
He may be gone three days - or maybe two weeks
Swing your girl around and promenade
She pays the bills, goes shopping, feeds the kids what they like
The gal behind the man, behind the mike

God Bless the gal behind the man, behind the mike!
