All join hands and circle left beneath that desert moon
Turn right back go single file along the old sand dune
You allemande left and a right to your own, we'll do a right & left grand
You'll meet your Sheba 'neath the stars across the burning sand
Just pull her by and left to the next, it's twice around you whirl
Then promenade that corner maid while she's your own sweet girl
You steal away across the night, 'cause you will always be
The Sheik of Araby

Head two couples you promenade go half around the square
While the side two couples right & left thru and turn your lady fair
Four gents star and turn your opposite once and a half around
You ladies star across the set and turn that big old boy around
Swing your right-hand lady, boys, you swing that gal around
You allemande left just one, promenade the girl you swung
You steal away across the night, 'cause you will always be
The Sheik of Araby
