OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    C4

Allemande your corner lady, then do the daisy chain
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities are Mother Nature's recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life
Where e'er you go
, when ya meet your own
You dosado and promenade her home
It's a short walk with me, we'll find happiness, you'll see
Swingin' round, merrily, a bare necessity


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head 2 ladies chain, roll promenade 3/4 this Jane
3/4 round the ring you go
2 & 4 (1 & 3) right & left thru, take time, avoid all grief
Double pass thru, then cloverleaf
Square thru 3/4 and the corner swing
Left allemande, promenade the ring
*Bees are buzzin' in the trees, a-makin' honey just for me
Swing around a happy she, a bare necessity


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Don't spend your time a-lookin' round
For things that can't be found


(Daisy Chain: Starting with a right to partner and a left to the next, turn back one for a right hand swing. Then forward again with a left and right and turn back one for a left hand swing; then forward again with a right & left. Turn back one for a right hand swing, then forward again with a left and right to partner. Action is always forward two and back one. In this case instead of giving a right to partner at end, do a dosado with partner.)
