OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
*I'm not a man to point or judge, I'm not a man to hold a grudge
But I think it's time to say a few choice words

Do an allemande left that corner girl, dosado around the world
Left allemande and weave around the ring
Lord, Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see
Dosado and then promenade
Well, it seems your contribution to man
To say the least got a little out of hand
Lord, Mr. Ford, what have you done?


FIGURE (1)    A1, corner progression

Now the head two couples flutter wheel once across the ring you reel
Sweep 1/4 more and pass thru, swing thru
Girls circulate, boys trade, boys run around this maid
Bend the line, go up to the middle and back, right & left thru
Now cross trail thru and the corner lady swing
Do an allemande left, come back and promenade
If the Lord who made the moon and stars had meant for you and me to have cars
Guess we'd all been born with a parkin' place


FIGURE (2)    A1, corner progression

Now the head two couples flutter wheel once across the ring you reel
Sweep 1/4 more and pass thru, swing thru
Girls circulate, boys trade, boys run around this maid
Wheel & deal to face that two and then, swap around
Swing the corner lady, one time and then
Do an allemande left, come back and promenade
If the Lord who made the moon and stars had meant for you and me to have cars
Guess we'd all been born with a parkin' place


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Well, I figured it up over a period of time
This four thousand dollar car of mine
Cost fourteen thousand dollars and ninety-nine cents


*How I yearn for the good old days
Without that carbon dioxide haze
Hangin' over the roar of the interstate

(Swap around - From couples facing: the person on the left
will run right as the person on the right steps forward.)
