Four ladies chain across, you turn your girl around
Chain the ladies, send her right back home and now
Join your hands, you've gotta circle 'round the ring
Allemande left and weave around the ring
*Soon the other little ladies started singing it
And the hula maids and started swinging it
Like a tropical storm that's the way it hits
Swing and sway the old Hawaiian way

We're going a-way
Swing and promenade her, I say

Heads (sides) you promenade, halfway around the ring
Walk in and pass the ocean, extend today
Swing thru, spin the top
Men move up and do the right & left thru
Come on and square thru three hands around the ring
Swing your corner girl around and promenade
Like a tropical storm that's the way it hits
Swing and sway the old Hawaiian way
