OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*What a crazy, crazy party, never seen so many people
Laughing, dancing, hope you've had some fun

Left allemande your corner, run home do a dosado
Left allemande that corner, weave the ring go
Let's call it a night, the party's over
You swing your girl and promenade 'em home
Turn out the lights, the party's over
And we hope our friendships here will never end


FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads you promenade now, you go halfway round the ring
Come down the middle and do a full square thru
It's four hands and then all swing thru my friend
Well boys run and then you ferris wheel to the middle and go
Square thru 3, that corner swing 'em
You swing that girl, promenade the ring
Turn out the lights, the party's over
And we hope our friendships here will never end


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*We've danced the night away, and you know I hate to say
The time has come and we must go our way

*We want to thank our friends for kindly dropping in
We want to say to you, come back again


TAG

We hope our friends come back and dance again
