OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
* Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two

Left allemande, now dosado your partner
Allemande left and weave the ring
Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose; we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Oh, nothing seems the way it used to be


*Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face; I heard you call my name


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 9, corner progression

Four ladies chain straight across the ring now
Head two flutter wheel and then
Sweep 1/4 more and you zoom
Square thru three hands around my friend
All slide thru, square thru three, that corner swing
Swing your corner, promenade
We'd live the life we choose; we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days


TAG

Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
