two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
I'd like to be under the sea, in an octopus' garden in the shade
Reverse
He'd let us in, knows where we've been in his octopus' garden in the shade
4 ladies promenade, you go one time around
You get back and swing, swing your man around and you all promenade
I'd like to be under the sea, in an octopus' garden in the shade

FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads square thru go 4, 4 hands around
Round the corner lady do a dosado, make a wave
Swing thru tonight, let the boys run right
Do a ferris wheel around, centers pass thru
You touch 1/4, you scoot back and then
Swing the corner girl and you all promenade
I'd like to be under the sea, in an octopus' garden in the shade

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
We would be warm below the storm in our little hideaway beneath the waves
Reverse
Resting our head on a seabed in an octopus' garden near a cave
4 ladies promenade, you go one time around
You get back and swing, swing your man around and you all promenade
I'd like to be under the sea, in an octopus' garden in the shade

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
We would shout and swim about the coral that lies beneath the waves
Reverse
Oh what joy for every girl and boy, knowing that they're happy and they're safe
4 men promenade, go one time around
You get back and swing, swing your man around and you all promenade
I'd like to be under the sea, in an octopus' garden in the shade

Swing
In an octopus' garden with you
