Four ladies chain 3/4 around
Turn and chain the ladies straight across
Sides face grand square, 8 steps and then
Left allemande then weave around that ring
Well, I'm a common man, I drive a common van
Swing your honey round and promenade
And if I have my way, I'm gonna stay that way
A common man is what I'll be

Heads promenade and travel halfway around
Sides pass thru, cloverleaf you do
Do a double pass thru, leaders partner trade
Swing thru and the girls circulate
Boys trade, boys run and then bend the line
Cross trail thru, swing and promenade
And if I have my say, I'm gonna stay that way
A common man is what I'll be

Four ladies chain, go straight across that ring
Chain the ladies home with a dopaso
Turn partner left, corner by the right, partner left
Head ladies center for a tea cup chain and go
I'm just a common man, I drive a common van
My dog ain't got no pedigree
And if I have my say I'm gonna stay that way
A common man is what I'll be

Sides lead to the right, circle halfway then veer to the left
And couples circulate, crossfire and then coordinate my friend
And when you're done you're gonna crossfire again
Girls run to the right, everybody pass thru
Do a u-turn back, swing and promenade
And if I have my say I'm gonna stay that way
A common man is what I'll be
