two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help I know
, allemande and weave
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads promenade, take it halfway you go
Come in and square thru four (downtown)
Go all the way then do the right & left thru
Veer to the left, ferris wheel (downtown)
Square thru three, to the corner lady swing now
Keep that girl and promenade around the ringo
*The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*So maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
So go downtown, things will be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure
Downtown, everything's waiting for
You
, allemande and weave go
Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be alright
Now


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be alright
Now
, allemande and weave
Downtown, things will be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute more
Downtown, everything's waiting for
You
