OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
*Have you ever been down to Haiti when
The summer sun was sinking low
There's nothing but romance it's everything you glance
And the native hearts are all aglow

Circle left
**But when the Cuban Queen comes upon the scene
Allemande, you swing and promenade
***And before too long he starts singing the song
And he gets in the Congo line


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Columbus searched for spices but he missed the nicest
Part of the Caribbean
He didn't see the charms and the open arms
It was the gold that he was seeing


**But I'm glad he missed the sweetest thing I kissed
Cause we're on our honeymoon


***And I'm sorry Chris, to talk about you like this
But you were 500 years too soon


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Head two you'll promenade and travel half way he said
Come down the middle and do the right & left thru
Ya flutter wheel across and sweep 1/4 more
And when ya do, pass thru and right and left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel around the ring ya go
Pass thru, swing and promenade
But before too long they'll start singing the song
And they'll get in the Congo line
