Join hands and circle to the left around that ring go
Reverse back single file ladies take the lead
Girls step out and backtrack, meet your partner box the gnat
Pull on by left allemande and weave around the ring
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Dosado around then promenade
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow
Do, do, do, looking out my back door

1 & 3 (2 & 4) promenade, half around there with that maid
Same ladies chain and you turn 'em and then
2 & 4 (1 & 3) square thru 4 hands around and when you're through
Spin chain thru, looking out my back door
Look at all those happy people dancing on the lawn
Boys trade, corner swing, promenade that ring
Bother me tomorrow, today I'll buy no sorrow
Do, do, do, looking out my back door
