OPENER Mainstream
Four ladies promenade one time around
Come back swing your man round and round
You join hands circle to the left in a ring
Allemande that corner girl and weave the ring
I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
Young man's rhythm's got a hold on me, too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*I want some lovin' baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
*I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low
I would be runnin' but my feet's too slow
FIGURE Plus, corner progression
Those heads (sides) square thru I say
Dosado that corner girl that way
Swing thru and then, the boy run right
Tag your line, face it in, girls load the boat tonight
Boys square thru 4 hand around
Swing the corner lady round, promenade her down
Young man's rhythm's got a hold on me, too
I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
