two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Circle left
*Way down in Southern Arizona
Lived a rich girl they called Imogene

Walk all around that corner, see saw around your partner
Left allemande and weave around that ring
Now buddy, I know, don't you marry for dough
Do a dosado then promenade
Cause I'm telling you son, if you marry for money
You're gonna earn every penny


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Breakfast in bed's not so bad for your head
If you're lying there enjoying the snack

*Now Imogene's half Indian and half bulldog
Just loafs around all day cracking that whip


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

Those heads square thru 4 hands around you do
Meet those 2, swing thru you do
Boys run and then, ferris wheel my friend
Veer left, stroll & cycle you do
Boys fold and then, do the right & left grand
Hand over hand and then you promenade
Being rich ain't no fun, so I'm gonna run
Hey judge, won't you gimme back my blues


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)   

Those heads square thru 4 hands around you do
Meet those 2, swing thru you do
Boys run and then, ferris wheel my friend
Touch 1/4, scoot back you do
Scoot back again, find the corner, you swing
Swing the corner girl, promenade
Being rich ain't no fun, so I'm gonna run
Hey judge, won't you gimme back my blues


TAG

Swing her gently
Being rich ain't no fun, so I'm gonna run
Hey judge, won't you gimme back my blues
