Everybody now have you heard
I'm gonna buy my gal a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don't sing
Left allemande left and now you weave that ring
Well, if that diamond ring don't shine
It's surely gonna break this heart of mine

FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
The heads (sides) promenade and take them halfway
Come in a square thru four hands you go
All the way around, do a right & left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel you do
Square thru three to your corner, there
Swing that corner girl and promenade that square
And that's why, I keep on tellin' everybody
Say, yeah, yeah, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa

Say, yeah, yeah, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
