two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Do an allemande left in the alamo style, balance out and in
Swing thru, go forward 2 you know
Swing thru, go forward 2, meet your partner, turn thru
Left allemande and weave the ring and go
And make the night a little brighter
Swing the girl and promenade 'em home
Like the old lamplighter of long, long ago

FIGURE (1)   

Heads promenade halfway round I say
Now when you're there roll a 1/2 sashay
Square thru in the middle and go, count 'em 4 hands you know
Dosado and make an ocean wave, centers trade
Just the boys scoot back, while the girls trade
Swing the corner, promenade 'em home
Like the old lamplighter of long, long ago

FIGURE (2)    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway round and go
Down the middle and do a full square thru
4 hands around and then a right & left thru and turn 'em friend
Veer to the left and ferris wheel you do
Center 2 right & left thru, turn 'em
Veer left, veer right, swing the corner, promenade 'em home
Like the old lamplighter of long, long ago
