Allemande left that corner girl, come back and box the gnat
Pull her by, left allemande, come back and swing your cat
Join your hands and circle, go halfway round that square
Hey when you're there, sides face grand square
When you're walkin' down that avenue
I just can't believe that it's you
Painted lips, painted eyes
Allemande left that corner girl, come back and promenade
Well it all seems wrong somehow
That you're nobody's sweetheart now

Hey 1 & 3 (2 & 4) go in to the middle and back
Square thru 4 hands around that track
Swing thru with the outside two
Boys you run to the right you do
Well bend the line and pass thru, wheel & deal you do
Centers pass thru and eight chain 5
Wearing a bird of paradise
Allemande left that corner girl
Come back one and swing and whirl
Promenade this lady home around that big old world
Well it all seems wrong somehow
That you're nobody's sweetheart now
