OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*A child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk...

Allemande left and you weave the ring
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin' home Dad? I don't know when
But we'll get together then


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*He came from college just the other day
So much like a man, I just had to say
"Son I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head...


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway
Pass the ocean, extend, girls trade
Boys run, boys trade, couples trade
Tag the line, turn to the right
Bend the line, slide thru, swing
Take corner girl, promenade around the ring
When you comin' home, Dad? I don't know when
But we'll get together then


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
My son turned ten just the other day
He said "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play

Boys star by the right, I said "Not today"
Allemande the corner and weave the ring
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin' home Dad? I don't know when
But we'll get together then


TAG

I know we'll have a good...time...then
