Circle left
*I cursed the day I bought her that old talking parrot bird
*Squawkin', talking, telling everything it ever heard
Left allemande the corner, turn partner right and then
Left allemande the corner and weave around the ring
My woman she just threw me out today
Swing your partner once around and promenade that way
She hollered from the front porch and all the neighbors heard
And the last thing I gave her was the bird

Heads (sides) promenade go half around the square
Walk in and square thru 4 hands around from there
Go all the way around and do little dosado
Go back to back and then swing thru you know
Boys run and couples circulate
Chain down the line and keep her and all promenade
That stool pigeon laughed when my bags hit the curb
And the last thing I gave her was the bird
