OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 2

Four little ladies chain, straight across the ring
Join hands circle left walk around the ring
Ladies center, men sashay, circle left
Ladies center, men sashay, circle left
Allemande left and weave around the ring
Go in and out, until you meet again
Swing with your gal, and promenade the ring
There's gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight

FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads promenade go halfway around
Walk in and square thru four hands around
Go all the way and do the right & left thru
Come on and pass thru, trade by, star thru and go
Square thru and roll it 3/4 round
Swing the corner lady promenade 'em down
My good friends, let's all shout and cheer
There's gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight


MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
One cold night when we were all in bed
Old aunt Sadie took a lantern to the shed
The old cow kicked it and she winked her eye and said
There's gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight

Circle left
My good friends, I'm so glad you could be here
Left allemande and promenade her home
My good friends, let's all shout and cheer
There's gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight
