one column

(Done as a duet: 1st caller, 2nd caller, both)
OPENER    Basic

Circle left
(1st) Hey, I wanta do a little rockin'
(2nd) Yeah, I feel a little rowdy myself
(1st) See if you can sing the high parts, brother
(2nd) I can if you give me some help

Walk around that corner lady
See saw round your own
Allemande left that corner
Gonna weave the ring
(1st) We've been down a whole lotta alleys
(2nd) And shook a whole lotta cans

Swing and whirl that pretty little girl, promenade that ring
(1st) Here we are smack dab in the middle
(2nd) But I think we can adjust
(Both) We ain't half bad for two old cats like us


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade halfway round that ring
Down the middle square thru four hands around I sing
Four hands around and then dosado
Swing thru two by two, boys you run
Half tag, trade and roll, pass thru, trade by
Swing that lady go round and round, promenade that ring
(1st) *We can take it to the limit
(2nd) *Or take it to the bus
(Both) We ain't half bad for two old cats like us


ALTERNATE LYRICS

(1st) *We've had a few doors slammed on our tails
(2nd) *We've been kicked and cussed


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
(32 beat musical interlude)
Allemande left and weave the ring
(1st) We've been down a whole lotta alleys
(2nd) And shook a whole lotta cans

Swing and whirl that pretty little girl, promenade that ring
(1st) Here we are smack dab in the middle
(2nd) But I think we can adjust
(Both) We ain't half bad for two old cats like us


CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
(1st) This younger generation has us on our toes
(2nd) Playing everything from western swing to that good old rock and roll

Walk around that corner lady
See saw round your own
Allemande left that corner
Gonna weave the ring
(1st) We've been down a whole lotta alleys
(2nd) And shook a whole lotta cans

Swing and whirl that pretty little girl, promenade that ring
(1st) Here we are smack dab in the middle
(2nd) But I think we can adjust
(Both) We ain't half bad for two old cats like us


TAG

(Both) We ain't half bad for two old cats like us
