OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
I say let us put man and woman together to
Find out which one is smarter!
Men star right once around you go
Left allemande and weave that ring you know
Oh, not me! But the people they say
Swing your girl and promenade that way
But I say that the women today
Smarter than the man in every way!
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 11, corner progression
Heads (sides) right & left thru, across you go
Lead left and now veer right
Bend the line, touch 1/4 you know
Circulate, and now the boy you run
Pass thru, left allemande and then come back and
Swing and promenade the ring
That's right, the woman is smarter!
That's right, that's right!
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
Ever since the world began
Woman was always teaching man
Men star right once around you go
Left allemande and weave the ring you know
That's right, the woman is smarter!
Swing your girl, and promenade the world
That's right, the woman is smarter!
That's right, that's right!
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face grand square
Methuselah spent all his life in tears
Without a woman for nine hundred years
One day he decided to have some fun
The poor man never lived to see nine hundred and one!
Four ladies chain you go across the ring
You chain 'em home and promenade I sing
That's right, the woman is smarter!
That's right, that's right!

That's right, that's right
