OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*I've got a real important job in a fancy hotel
Ridin' people up and down in a elevator
I've got a '57 Cadillac with a busted tail light
Burned out valves and a leaky radiator
Do an allemande left with the corner girl
Turn the partner by the right
Left allemande, you swing and promenade
But I've got somethin' to brag about, somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about with you
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Well heads promenade and go 'bout halfway around that ring
Walk down the middle and a right & left thru
And you turn that lady go round
Square thru 4 in the middle, 'gonna muddle in the middle
To the tune of the fiddle
And step right to the corner dosado one time you go
Swing thru, boys you'll trade and then
Swing that corner and you'll promenade
But I've got somethin' to brag about, somethin' to brag about
Somethin' to brag about with you
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Well I'm a short order cook at an all night cafe
Down on Eighteenth Avenue and Twelfth Street
I wear a swingin' mini dress that I made for myself
From mema's kitchen curtains and old bed sheets
*So let's get married in the not too distant future
We'll rent a little flat on Twenty-Ninth Street
You know we'll hang out our washin'
On a clothesline from the window
We'll feast on cornbread, butter beans and lunch meat
