two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
On a wonderful day like today
I defy any cloud to appear in the sky

Left allemande, turn partner right
Left allemande and you weave
On a wonderful morning like this
When the sun is as big as a yellow balloon
Even the sparrows are singing in tune
On a wonderful day like today


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 9, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade, go halfway around now
Walk in, pass the ocean, extend
Swing thru and then, the boys cross run
Girls trade, girls run left, bend the line
Flutter wheel straight across there and go
Slide thru and swing the corner, promenade her you know
Dare any raindrop to plop in my eye
On a wonderful day like today


ALTERNATE LYRICS

Even the sparrows are singing in tune
On a wonderful morning like this


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

(Delayed to what would normally be the 3rd figure - if not comfortable with this, just repeat the opener in the normal spot for the middle break.)

Sides face, grand square
On a morning like this I could kiss everybody
I'm so full of love and goodwill
Let me say, furthermore, I'd adore everybody
To come and dine - the pleasure's mine - and I will pay the bill!

4 ladies promenade, go inside the ring
Get on back, swing the guy, promenade again
Dare any raindrop to plop in my eye
On a wonderful day like today


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 2

4 ladies chain 'cross that ring
Roll her away, circle left 'round I sing
4 ladies rollaway, you circle and go
Left allemande, weave the ring
May I take this occasion to say
That the whole human race should go down on its knees
Show that we're grateful for mornings like these
On a wonderful day like today
