OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic
Allemande left your corner girl, walk right by your own
Right hand round the right hand girl, left hand round your own
Men star right in the middle, like in a foreign land
Pass your partner, turn the next with the old left hand
Grand ole right & left round that ring you go
Meet your girl and dosado full around you know
Now promenade this little girl, you don't know what you're missin'
Get on home and swing her boy, 'cause she invented kissin'
FIGURE
The head two couples right & left thru, turn your girls around
Half square thru, then dosado round the one you found
All the way, an ocean wave, rock it up and back
Now change hands, left allemande, your partner box the gnat
Well, pull her by, the corner swing, swing this little lady
Promenade this little girl, she's just a little shady
Take her home and swing her boy, you don't know what you're missin'
*She can't cook or read a book, she just invented kissin'
