two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden

Men star right one time round now
Left allemande and weave the ring somehow
When you take you gotta give so live and let live
Swing and promenade her right back home
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads you square thru, it's four hands you do
Make a right-hand star and turn it once you go
Heads star left it's once around there you know
Touch 1/4
Scoot back and then, scoot back again
Swing that girl around and promenade her
...On a silver platter
But what would it matter?


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can

Allemande and weave
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometime


TAG

Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
