OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*My bestie and your bestie
Dancin' by d' fire
Your bestie say she wan' party
Can we make these flames go higher?

Allemande left your corner girl
Turn your partner right
Allemande left that corner girl
Weave the ring tonight
Hey now, hey now

Swing that lady fair
Promenade around that square
Hey now, hey now
Iko iko a nae
Chakimo fina a na nae
Chakimo fina nae


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Start my truck let's all jump in
Here we go together
Nice cool breeze and big palm trees
Life don't get no better


*Shout out to the good time crew
All across the islands
Grab your shoes, we'll two-by-two
Now we're shinin' bright like diamonds
