OPENER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Sixty-six was still a narrow two-lane highway
Harry Truman was the man who ran the show
The bad Korean war was just beginning
And I was just nine years too young to go
Allemande left and weave
Country Music hadn't gone to New York City yet
And a service man was proud of what he'd done
Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox
That's the way it was in fifty one
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Head (side) men reach in reverse that flutter wheel now
Keep that girl and promenade outside halfway
Lead to the right and then you dosado her
Touch 1/4, scoot back I say
Boys fold and the girls turn thru
Star thru and promenade her home
Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox
That's the way it was in fifty one
MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
There's so much about the good old days I could tell
And there's folks around I know still remember well
Slow dancin' close together when a ballad played
'Cause a thing called Rock and Roll was yet to come
Allemande left and weave
Country Music hadn't gone to New York City yet
And a service man was proud of what he'd done
It was a big year for a drive-in restaurant car hop
That's the way it was in fifty one
