The heads square thru 4 hands and then

She said all you need is Love Potion No. 9

He broke my little bottle of...


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
She bent down, turned around and gave me a wink
Said I'm gonna mix it up right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like India ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes...I took a drink

Swing her
Love Potion No. 9
