two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
(Music 8 counts)
About a-workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
(Music 8 counts)
Allemande and weave
**Every time I call my baby, try to get a date
My boss says, "no dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Well, my mom and pop told me, son, you gotta make some money
(Music 8 counts)
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday
(Music 8 counts)
Allemande and weave
**Well, I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
Well, you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues


*I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
(Music 8 counts)
Gonna take my problem to the United Nations
(Music 8 counts)
Allemande and weave
**Well, I called my congressman and he said (quote)
I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands around now
Dosado one time and go
Swing thru and then, boys run right
Bend the line then a right & left thru
Pass the ocean here, recycle you know
Swing that corner and promenade 'em home
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a-gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
