two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly whites

You do an allemande left that corner
Come back and dosado
Do an allemande left and weave the ring
**There's a tugboat down by the river
Swing your lady and promenade her home
***Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway you travel
Sides do a right & left thru, keep it in time
Square thru 4 hands go walking around the floor
Relay the deucey and you move along and go
**On a sidewalk on a Sunday morning
Swing with your corner and promenade her home
Someone's sneaking around the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 boys promenade go walking round that ring
Come on back and swing your girl, everybody swing
Join all your hands, gonna circle round that ring
Do an allemande left with the corner, and weave around I sing
Jenny Diver, Sukey Tawdry
Miss Lotte Lenya, Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Oh the shark bites with his teeth dear
Scarlet billows start to spread


**Louis Miller he disappeared, babe

***Someone's sneaking around the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
