OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Mainstream
You allemande left the corner girl, come on home and dosado
Men star left, go once around, pick them up with an arm around
Star promenade, go round the town, girls backtrack two times and then
Second time you meet that man, turn thru, left allemande
Come on back and promenade her home.
*What's her name? What's her name?
Her name is Mary Clair Melvina Rebecca Jane
FIGURE Basic - SSD Week 2, corner progression
Well all four ladies chain I say, turn that girl, roll away
Join hands and circle round the ring
Do an allemande left from where you're at, the men star right
The girls stand pat, same corner left allemande
Come home and swing, swing your girl and then, promenade, go round the ring
*What's her name? What's her name?
Her name is Mary Clair Melvina Rebecca Jane
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*There's a pretty little girl in my home town
I tried to kiss her, but she turned me down
*She's the cutest little girl from head to toes
Dimples and a turned up nose
