You bow to your partners and corners all
Now circle to the left go round the hall
Circle to the left and around you go
Now into the center and make a little nest
Then rare right back and swing the girl that you love best
Let's swing your partner go round and around
Then promenade go round the town
With your big foot up and your little foot down
And when you get home just swing your baby
That's what you do, let's swing your baby go high and low

The first ole gent lead to the right
And turn the right hand lady with a right hand around
Back to your partner with a left hand around
Now the opposite lady with a right hand around
Back to your partner with a left hand around
Now the left hand lady with a right hand around
Back to your partner with a left, go all the way around
Put the birdie in the cage, circle seven hands around
Seven hands up and around you go
Now the bird hops out and the crow hops in
You circle seven and you're gone again
Now the crow hops out and everybody left allemande
Here we go, go right & left grand
Hand over hand with every little maid
Gonna meet your partner and promenade
You promenade, go two by four and six by seven
Get along home, you're going to heaven
Get back home and swing your girl
Go round and around with the pretty little girl

Join hands and make a ring, you circle to the left like everything
Now allemande left with your left hand
Your partner by the right, a right & left grand
Hand over hand and around you go, now meet your partner, promeno
Promenade go round the ring while the geese fly over high on the wing
Get back home and swing your girl
Go round and around with a pretty little whirl

Back right out and form a ring
Circle to the left like everything
And around you go
Now break it like a dopaso
Your partner by the left
And your corner by the right
Your partner by the left and hang on tight
Roll promenade and get back home
And swing your girl
Go round and around with the pretty little girl
Now bow to your partners, corners too
Then wave to the folks right across from you
And, keeno, 'cause we're all through
