Four ladies chain, you chain across the set
Join your hands and circle to the left
Allemande left and allemande thar, go forward two and star
Men wheel in and you got a back up star
Shoot that star and weave the ring around you go
Meet your partner, dosado and promeno
*May the bird of paradise tell what he knows
May an elephant step lightly on your toes

1 & 3 (2 & 4) promenade the outside ring halfway
Down the middle and dosado around that way
Half square thru in the middle you do, dosado the outside two
Go all the way around and make an ocean wave
Swing thru and rock it to and fro
Men trade, swing your corner, promeno
May your wife be free of runners in her hose
May an Eskimo caress you with his nose
