Sides face, grand square
Musical dean send your honey a dream
Come on and play me some rag
Just change that classical nag to some sweet musical drag
Allemande left and weave the ring
If you can play from a copy of a tune that is choppy
Swing that lady round and you promenade
And that is simply because, I love to listen to rag

Heads square thru in the middle and-a-get four hands around
You'll make a right hand star
Heads star left in the middle, one time around
Same two do the right & left thru and turn 'em around
Swing thru and then, swing thru again
Boys run right and promenade
And that is simply because, I love to listen to rag

Won't you play a simple melody?
Like my mother sang to me
One with good old fashioned
Swing that lady round and ya promenade
Play some simple melody
