Just Like Belgium (Elton John) - STING 21611   (Michael Braithwaite)

 

 (Opener): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

Remember Belgium - and the Brussels Museum
Where we piled on the front steps - like stray cavaliers
FOUR LADIES CHAIN and our code of living

– CHAIN BACK – meant little to others – PROMENADE
The few francs we saved - bought some cheap souvenirs

 

 

 (Figures 1 and 3): HEADS SQUARE THRU:

But the red lights - where the catfights DOSADO make an OCEAN WAVE

BOYS you RUN - BOYS TRADE - everybody CAST OFF go THREE - REVERSE THE FLUTTER

DIXIE STYLE make A WAVE - BOYS CROSS FOLD - SWING - PROMENADE her too

And your sweet madame - makes it feel - just like Belgium

 

(Figures 2 and 4): HEADS SQUARE THRU - DOSADO make a WAVE - GIRLS TRADE - BOYS RUN RIGHT

BOYS TRADE everybody CAST OFF go THREE - BOY WALK - GIRL DODGE - WALK AND DODGE

GIRLS FOLD - everybody SWING and y’all take her ‘round and PROMENADE

And your sweet madame - makes it seem - just like Belgium

 

 

 (Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

Just like a hustler - when they look attractive
It's nothing much more - than a slap on the back
FOUR LADIES CHAIN the price tag of being

– CHAIN BACK – just a little bit different – PROMENADE
The first rule to learn - is to keep your own distance

 

 

 (Closer): CIRCLE LEFT:

Aah - but the red lights - where the catfights

                                                                                     - make it just - like - Belgium
BOYS STAR RIGHT roll ‘em round on there - do an ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING

Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of - your - spare - change
And your sweet madame - makes it seem - just like Belgium

 

 

 (Tag): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

Just like Belgium - ooooh just like Belgium

Ooooh - just like Belgium - SWING - just like Belgium

 

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

 

Remember Belgium - and the Brussels Museum
Where we piled on the front steps - like stray cavaliers
Our code of living - meant little to others
The few francs we saved - bought some cheap souvenirs

 

But the red lights where the catfights make it just - like - Belgium
See us face down on the floor of another cheap barroom
Streetwalkers sweet talk you out of - your - spare - change
And your sweet madame - makes it seem - just like Belgium (just like Belgium)

 

Just like a hustler - when they look attractive
It's nothing much more - than a slap on the back
The price tag of being - just a little bit different
The first rule to learn - is to keep your own distance

 

Ooooh just like Belgium

 - ooooh ain’t it just like Belgium

 - ain’t it just like Belgium

 - sooo ain’t it just like Belgium

 - ain’t it just like Belgium (to fade)
