OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Circle left
I'm calling from the station
But I haven't got much time to let you know

Left allemande your corner lady, dosado your own
The men star left, one time and go
You turn thru with the partner, and a go left allemande
Swing your own little girl and promenade
*There's a factory in Witchita, hiring now I understand
They're looking for an able-bodied man


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads roll away, you slide thru and then swing thru, boys run
You half tag, trade & roll, pass thru and trade by and then dosado
You swing thru 2 by 2, the boys run around that girl
Wheel & deal and then the corner swing, promenade
*There's a factory in Witchita, hiring now I understand
They're looking for an able-bodied man


TAG

Remember, I'm your able-bodied man
