4 little ladies promenade one time go 'round
Get on home and swing your man, you swing him upside down
Join all hands and circle to the left, go 'round that floor
Allemande the corner girl, gonna weave the ring once more
I know there's never been a man in the awful shape I'm in
I can't even spell my name, my head is in a spin
I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon
You've got me chasin' rabbits, scratchin' fleas, and howlin' at the moon

Head (side) two you square thru four hands around you go
Split your sides (heads), around one, make a line of four you know
Up to the middle and you come on back and box the gnat you see
Look her in the eye then slide thru, then box the gnat for me
Now look her in the eye then slide thru and roll to face that girl
Swing and whirl that pretty little girl and promenade the world
I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon
You've got me chasin' rabbits, scratchin' fleas, and howlin' at the moon

Sides face, grand square
I rode my horse to town today and a gas pump we did pass
I pulled him up and hollered "whoa" and fill him up with gas
The man picked him up a monkey wrench and wham! he changed my tune
You've got me chasin' rabbits, spittin' out teeth, and howlin' at the moon
Four little ladies chain across, turn her by the left around
Chain that lady back on home and promenade on down
Now I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon
You've got me chasin' rabbits, spittin' out teeth, and howlin' at the moon

Sides face, grand square
Some friends of mine asked me to go out on a hunting spree
There ain't a hound dog in this state can hold a light to me
I ate three bones for dinner today and tried to tree a coon
You've got me chasin' rabbits, scratchin' fleas, and howlin' at the moon
Four little ladies chain across, turn her by the left hand 'round
Chain the lady right back home and you promenade on down
I can't tell the day from night, I'm crazy as a loon
You've got me chasin' rabbits, scratchin' fleas, and howlin' at the moon
