(16 Beat Intro)

OPENER    (SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE)

If we could leave this big ol’ city,
And head for the cabin we love

Back deep in the woods,

Woah, baby we would.
ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE
If we could jump some big ol’ jet plane

And head for the islands …
SWING your girl and all PROMENADE
Oh, don’t you know we would.

 

Corner progression figures:

 

FIGURE 1/3

The HEADS (Sides) PROMENADE go HALFWAY

The SIDES (Heads) SLIDE THRU and PASS THRU

All LEFT SWING THRU, CAST OFF THREE QUARTERS do

CENTRES TRADE and CENTRES RUN

FERRIS WHEEL, girls into the middle

The GIRLS TURN THROUGH, and STAR THRU

And all PROMENADE

Oh, don’t you know we would.


FIGURE 2/4

HEADS (Sides) SQUARE THRU

* If we could leave this big ol’ city,
* And head for the … corner DOSADO

And all SWING THRU, CAST OFF THREE QUARTERS do

CENTRES TRADE and CENTRES RUN

FERRIS WHEEL, boys into the middle

BOYS LEFT TURN THROUGH, and STAR THRU

WRONG WAY PROMENADE

** Oh, don’t you know we would.

 

* We could go down town to a night club
* And dance to the rhythm … DOSADO

** Yeah, baby we could.

MIDDLE BREAK    (Back out CIRCLE LEFT)

Oh, we can’t do this and we can’t do that

But baby we can stay right where we’re at

ALLEMANDE LEFT your corner, DOSADO your own

ALLEMANDE LEFT your corner and WEAVE along
Take a little trip, take a little trip

Take a little trip … SWING and PROMENADE on home

Take a little time, leave it all behind

Take a little trip up to heaven tonight

 

CLOSER    (Back out CIRCLE LEFT)

Pull down the shades, turn out the lights

Take a little trip up to heaven tonight

ALLEMANDE LEFT your corner, DOSADO your own

ALLEMANDE LEFT your corner and WEAVE along
Take a little trip, take a little trip

Take a little trip up to heaven tonight

Take a little time, leave it all behind

Take a little trip, you and me out of sight.
