two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Last night we had a hell-raising time
Nipping on tequila, some salt and some lime

Left allemande that corner, turn your partner by the right
Left allemande that corner, come on and weave that old ring
My morning headache lasted till noon
Swing and promenade
I can't say it's been a good morning
Oh Babe it's been a great afternoon


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru and count em 4 hands around
Meet the sides and make a right hand star
Heads star left and turn it one time around
Same 2 touch 1/4
Scoot back...scoot back again
Swing and promenade
I can't say it's been a good morning
Oh Babe it's been a great afternoon


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 2

4 ladies chain across and go
Rollaway and circle and go
4 ladies roll away & circle again
Left allemande and weave that ring
This pounding in the top of my head
Won't be forgotten too soon
I can't say it's been a good morning
Oh Babe it's been a great afternoon


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
You helped me through the morning when I was really down
One rowdy afternoon you had me up and around

Left allemande, turn your partner by the right
Left allemande, weave that ring
Last night won't be forgotten too soon
Swing and promenade
I can't say it's been a good morning
Oh Babe it's been a great afternoon
