This Is The Life (Amy McDonald) - STING 21212(a) (Cherish Bristow)

(Opener and Closer): circle left

Oh the wind whistles down - the cold dark street tonight
and the people they were dancing - to the music vibe

ALLEMANDE LEFT your Corner – come home and DO SA DO

FOUR BOYS STAR by the LEFT – one full turn and go
And you're singing the songs - thinking this is the life

Meet your Partner – and you TURN her by the RIGHT
ALLEMANDE LEFT and then you PROMENADE
And you're singing the songs - thinking this is the life

- and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go - where you gonna go - where you gonna sleep tonight

(Figure): HEADS PASS THE OCEAN – RECYCLE ‘round tonight – DOUBLE PASS THRU, TRACK TWO … gonna feel all right

Do an ACEY DEUCEY – and then the GIRLS you RUN – COUPLES CIRCULATE one time around the ring for fun

CROSSFIRE and then – BOYS RUN to the RIGHT – SWING your Corner Lady – and PROMENADE her home tonight

And you're singing the songs - thinking this is the life

- and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go - where you gonna go - where you gonna sleep tonight

(Middle Break and Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

So you're heading down the road - in your taxi for four

- and you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door

But nobody's in and nobody's home till four

So you're sitting there with nothing to do

- talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew

ALLEMANDE LEFT your Corner – and you WEAVE THE RING

And you're singing the songs - thinking this is the life

And you meet your Partner – and you TURN her by the RIGHT
ALLEMANDE LEFT and then you PROMENADE
And you're singing the songs - thinking this is the life

- and you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go - where you gonna go - where you gonna sleep tonight

(Tag): Swing your Girl where do you think you’re gonna sleep tonight?

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

(Verse)

Oh the wind whistles down - the cold dark street tonight
and the people they were dancing - to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls - with the curls in their hair - And the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder - each one better than before

(Chorus)
and you're singing the songs - thinking this is the life - and you wake up in the morning - and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go - where you gonna go - where you gonna sleep tonight
and you're singing the songs - thinking this is the life - and you wake up in the morning - and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go - where you gonna go - where you gonna sleep tonight - where you gonna sleep tonight

(Verse)
So you're heading down the road - in your taxi for four - And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door

But nobody's in and nobody's home till four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do - Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew.
and where you're gonna go and where your gonna sleep tonight.
