Head ladies center teacup chain
Dirt road in the twilight, woods so dark and cool
Up ahead pale neon, somewhere a dog barks
Honky Tonk Moon keeps shining on my baby and me
Allemande left, weave the ring
Breaking up the pool balls, chalking up the cues
Swing your girl around and promenade home you do
Honky Tonk Moon keeps shining on my baby and me

Heads (sides) lead right, veer to the left
Crossfire, coordinate
Girls trade, ferris wheel
Centers zoom, new centers square thru 3 hands you do
Swing your corner girl and promenade home you go
Honky Tonk Moon keeps shining on my baby and me

Head ladies center teacup chain
My arms around my baby, shuffling on the floor
Cigarettes and sawdust, squeaky old screen door
Honky Tonk Moon keeps shining on my baby and me
Allemande left, weave the ring
Outside dark is falling, stars are twinkling bright
Swing your girl around and promenade home tonight
Honky Tonk Moon keeps shining on my baby and me

Head ladies center teacup chain
Through the blue smoky haze, all through the days
Trouble seems to melt away
My heart's on a roll, I'm easy in my soul
Allemande left and weave the ring
My arms around my baby, shufflin' on the floor
Swing your girl around and promenade home tonight
Honky Tonk Moon keeps shining on my baby and me
