OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    C4

Heads go grand parade
I just called up to tell you that I'm ragged but right
That I'm a square dance caller and I'm out every night
I eat a porter house steak three times a day for my board
More than any ordinary guy can afford
I've got a big electric fan to keep me cool when I'm hot
I'll call a hot hash to keep me warm when I'm not
Hey I'm a square dance caller and I'm out every night
I just called up to tell you that I'm ragged but right


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Those heads square thru and get me 4 hands and go
Dosado that corner baby one time and go
You star thru and then pass thru and chase right
Boys run around those girls and square thru 3/4
3/4 round and then swing the corner lady there
Left allemande new corner, promenade that old square
Hey I'm a square dance caller and I'm out every night
I just called up to tell you that I'm ragged but right


OPENER (ALTERNATE)    Basic - SSD Week 11

4 ladies promenade go once inside the ring
Get back home, box the gnat and give your man a swing
Join hands circle to the left around you go
Left allemande your corner, weave the ring you know
I eat a porter house steak three times a day for my board
Dosado and then you promenade that floor
Hey I'm a square dance caller and I'm out every night
I just called up to say I'm ragged but right


TAG

I just called up to tell you that I'm ragged but right

Grand Parade:
Heads step forward to a wave, turn 1/2 right, boys turn 3/4 left.
Side girls move forward to head man, side man courtesy turn. Girl in front of
him, everybody promenade 1/2. Repeat again with heads going first. Repeat
twice with sides going first. This should take 64 beats and everyone should
be home with their original partner.
