OPENER (Communication Breakdown) Mainstream
Circle left
We never walk, we never talk
We never find the time
Men star right one time
Left allemande, weave the ring
Communication breakdown, communication breakdown
Swing your girl and promenade
Communication breakdown

Yeah hurtin'
FIGURE (2 & 4 - Working for the Man) Mainstream, corner progression

MIDDLE BREAK (Mean Woman Blues) Mainstream
Circle left
I've got a woman
Mean as she can be
Men star right one time

She's got ruby lips, she's got shapely hips
Swing your girl and promenade
Sometimes I think she's almost
Mean as me
CLOSER (Blue Bayou) Mainstream
Circle left
I'm going back one day
Come what may, to Blue Bayou
Men star right one time
Left allemande, weave the ring
Where the fishing boats, with their sails afloat
Swing your girl and promenade
And I'll never be blue, my dreams come true
On Blue Bayou
TAG
Swing her
Where I'll never be blue, on Blue Bayou
