Why don't you walk around your corner, see saw your own
Gents star by the right one time
Star promenade put an arm around your partner
Girls roll back, left allemande and weave
Just listen to the ballgame and lying in the shade
Swing there with your lady, you take her and promenade
I'm spending my summer vacation
Right in my own backyard

Head (Side) 2 couples promenade go halfway around
Down the middle and do a 1/2 square thru
Go right & left thru and turn that gal and rollaway
Touch 1/4, scoot back you do, ladies run
The ladies in, the man sashay, go right & left thru
Slide thru, swing that corner, promenade her too
I'm spending my summer vacation
Right in my own backyard

Head lady center tea cup chain
Summer gives me such thrill
And I can smell the hot dog on the grill
Ice cream vendor in the street
And the children waiting for a treat
4 ladies chain 3/4 round you go
Turn that girl and promenade you walk that lady home
And there'll be no more working for a while
And that's what I call living in style
