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 now, you roll it tonight
Left allemande and you weave that ring
Oh, not me! But the people they say
That you swing your girl and promenade her 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) lead right, veer left
Bend the line and do the right & left thru
You touch 1/4, circulate
Boy run right, and all pass thru
Allemande left, come back and swing new corner
Promenade because she is smarter!
That's right, the woman is smarter!
That's right, that's right!
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 2
Four ladies chain 3/4 around
And when you catch her, now you roll her away
Join your hands and circle left in a ring
Left allemande and you weave that ring
That's right, the woman is smarter!
That's right, the woman is smarter!
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
But the poor man never lived to see nine hundred and one!
Four ladies chain - because they are smarter!
Chain them back - because they are smarter!
Promenade, The woman is smarter!
That's right; that's right!
TAG
That's right, that's right
That's right, that's right
