The Race Is On (MEL 102) Bob Ferrell

OPENER

Circle left
I feel tears welling up cold and deep inside
Like my heart's going to break
Left allemande the corner, you're gonna dosado
The men star left that way
Well you turn old partner by the right hand around
Left allemande, come back and promenade
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

FIGURE

Well the head 2 couples lead to the right and circle to a line
You dance right up to the middle and back in time
Curlique, coordinate, you walk right out and then
Bend that line and do the right & left thru
Hey now you slide thru, swing thru, boys trade
Swing that corner lady, promenade
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Sides face, grand square
(32 beats)
Well now the 4 little ladies chain across
Chain 'em back and you roll promenade
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
