OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I got rice cookin' in the microwave
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say
Hey I'm doin' alright

Allemande and weave
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't everyday be just this good


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads square thru, four hands you go
Find that corner girl and you dosado
Swing thru, boys run, bend the line
Do the right & left thru
Pass the ocean there, recycle round
Swing that girl and promenade on down
*It's neither drink nor drug induced
No I'm just doin' alright


ALTERNATE LYRICS

**Might even grow me a Fu Man Chu
Yeah, I'm just doin' alright


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies chain across that ring
Turn chain them right back home I sing
Join hands circle left go round
Allemande left, weave the ring
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't everyday be just this good

I'm doin' all right
