Blue Collar Man
Styx 1978

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive

Men star right
Left allemande and weave the ring
My mother and father, my wife and my friends
You see them laugh in my face
But I've got the power and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade halfway
Square thru
Right & left thru
Pass thru, trade by
Touch 1/4, scoot back, scoot back
Swing and promenade
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man

Men star right
Left allemande and weave the ring
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keepin' my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keepin' my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man

Allemande and weave
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keepin' my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man


TAG

Well I vow be a blue collar, gotta be a blue collar
Gonna be a blue collar man
