OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK    Mainstream

Allemande left your corner girl, come home and dosado
Men step in and star by the left, it's once around you go
Pick up your partner, arm around, star promenade, what then?
Break that star, turn it around a full turn and then
Dosado that corner girl, and see saw round your own
Allemande left the corner, and promenade your own
I've swung you in the springtime, I've swing you in the fall
But last night at the square dance, I swung you best of all


FIGURE    A1, corner progression

1 and 3 (2 & 4) go forward up and back again you sail
Cross trail thru and u-turn back, swing that opposite gal
Face the center, pass thru, split the ring, round one
Down the middle, a full square thru, count 4 hands son
Now look for the corner, box the gnat, same girl a dosado
Allemande left new corner, come home and promeno
I've swung you now from coast to coast and away down south, y'll
But last night at the square dance, I swung you best of all


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I've swung you in the kitchen and I've swung you in the hall

*I've swung you east, I've swung you west, and away down south, y'all

*I've swung you in the summertime, winter and the fall


CLOSER    Mainstream

Allemande left your corner girl, come home and dosado
Men step in and star by the left, it's once around you go
Pick up your partner, arm around, star promenade, what then?
Break that star, turn it around a full turn and then
Dosado that corner girl, and see saw round your own
Allemande left the corner, and promenade your own
You looked so sweet and danced so neat, we had a ball
Yeah, last night at the square dance, I loved you best of all
