INTRO (slow tempo)
Bow to your partner, corner too
Then a half sashay, that's what you do
Bow to the girl on the right of you
Swing the corner, you're not through
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
*Allemande left with ol' left hand
Partner right in a right & left grand
Every other girl with every other guy
Promenade with the blue tail fly
Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care
Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care
Swing your honey when you get there
My massa's gone away
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Head 2 men and your pretty little girl
Go up to the middle and back to the world
Turn your opposite lady with a right hand round
Partner now with a left hand round
Corners all with a right hand round
Partners left like a left allemande
Now the wrong way with a right & left grand
Every other girl with every other hand
Meet a new girl (corner) box the gnat
Men star by the left like that
Once around to the same new girl
Promenade around the world
Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care
Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care
Swing your honey when you get there
My massa's gone away

Allemande left, allemande thar
Gents back in with a right hand star
Shoot that star with a full turn Joe
Pull the corner by you know
(Repeat INTRO from "*")
CLOSER (slow tempo) Basic, corner progression
Bow to your partner, corner miss
To the opposite lady just blow a kiss
Wave at the girl on the ol' right wall
Swing your partner, that's not all
