Four ladies chain across that way, turn that girl with an arm around
You join hands, circle left you know
Four ladies in, the men sashay, circle left around that way
Four ladies in, the men sashay
Left allemande that corner lady, why weave around the ring
Weave in and out and promenade
Well, it seems your contributions to man
To say the least got a little out of hand
Lord, Mr. Ford, what have you done?


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) half square thru, you dosado the outside two
All the way and do an eight chain thru
*I've got a car that's mine alone
That me and the finance company own
A ready-made pile of manufactured grief

Do a right & left thru, turn the girl and pass thru and trade by
Corner lady swing and promenade
**If I ain't out of gas in the pouring rain
I'm a changing a flat in a hurricane
Well, I once spent three days on a cloverleaf


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Well it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jams
That make me the bitter fool I am
But this four wheel buggie is a dollaring me to death


**For gas and oil and fluid and grease
And wires and tires and anti-freeze and them accessories
Well honey that's something else


*Well you can get stereo tape, and a color TV
Get a back seat bar and reclining seats
And just pay once a month like you do your rent


**Well, I figured it up and over a period of time
This $4,000.00 car of mine
Cost $14,000.00 and 99 cents


*Now an average American father and mother
Wwn one whole car and half another
And I'll bet that half a car is a trick to drive, don't you?


**Well now red light, green light, traffic cop
Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop!
Get out the credit card, honey, we're out of gas
