Circle left
What are we gonna do, what about the future
Gotta draw the line, without delay
Allemande left your corner, dosado your partner
Allemande left and then weave the ring
Rip rip woodchip, turn it into paper
Swing your lady round and promenade I say
Rip rip woodchip, turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today

Heads star thru, pass thru, swing thru
Spin chain thru (work it girls)
Recycle, square thru three
Rip rip woodchip, trade by
Allemande left, promenade I say
Rip rip woodchip, turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today

Sides face grand square
Over the hill they go, killing another mountain
Gotta make their quota, can't go slow
Huge machinery, wiping out the scenery
One big swipe like a shearer's blow (Allemande and weave)
Rip rip woodchip, turn it into paper
Swing your girl and promenade around
Crosscut, blackbutt, tallow wood and cedar
Build another bungalow, tear another forest down

Sides face grand square
I am the bush, I am koala
We are one, we go hand in hand
I am the bush, like banjo and Henry
It's the right time to make a stand (Allemande and weave)
Rip rip woodchip, turn it into paper
Swing your girl and promenade the land
Rip rip woodchip, turn it into paper
Stirs my blood, gonna make a stand

Allemande left your corner and swing with your partner
Stirs my blood, gonna make a stand!
