You Took Advantage Of Me Joyce Barbour and Busby Berkeley; Judy Garland; Ella Fitzgerald; Tony Bennett; many others 1928 | (Chic 2052) Deborah Carroll-Jones |
OPENER Basic
Circle left
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use in trying not to fall?
Walk around the corner, seesaw your pet
Left allemande and weave the ring
I'm just like an apple on a bough
Swing your girl and then promenade somehow
So what's the use, you've cooked my goose
'cause you took advantage of me
FIGURE Mainstream, R-H lady progression
Heads box the gnat, and then slide thru
With the sides do the right & left thru
Veer left, tag the line all the way through, face left
Ferris wheel from there
Pass thru, allemande left, walk by one
Swing the right-hand lady, promenade for fun
Lock all the doors and call me yours
'cause you took advantage of me
MIDDLE BREAK Basic
Circle left
I'm so hot and bothered that I don't know
My elbow from my ear
Walk around the corner, seesaw your pet
Left allemande and weave
Here I am with all my bridges burned
Swing your girl and promenade her, too
Lock all the doors and call me yours
'cause you took advantage of me
CLOSER Basic
Circle left
I'm a sentimental sap, that's all
What's the use in trying not to fall?
Walk around the corner, seesaw your pet
Left allemande and weave the ring
I'm just like an apple on a bough
And you're gonna shake me down somehow
So what's the use, you've cooked my goose
'cause you took advantage of me
