one column

OPENER    Mainstream

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, 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    Mainstream

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


TAG

I'm doin' all right
