Circle left
Ah, California here I come
Right back where I started from
Left allemande, turn your partner by the right
Do an allemande left your corner girl, come on and weave the ring
A sun kissed miss said, "don't be late"
That's why I can hardly wait
Open up your Golden Gate
California here I come

Heads promenade her half around and then
Walk in square thru four my friend
Where bowers of flowers will all swing thru
Boy run around that girl, couples circulate you do
Half tag, scoot back, that corner you swing
Swing that corner girl and promenade that ring
Open up your Golden Gate
California here I come
