Circle left
Johnny is a joker (he's a bird)
A very funny joker (he's a bird)
Well, the men star right and you roll it around
Allemande the corner lady, weave around the ring
But when he jokes my honey (he's a dog
Swing your girl around and promenade on home
His jokin' ain't so funny (what a dog)
Johnny is a joker tryin' to steal my honey

Heads (sides) square thru four hands around now
You make a right hand star and turn it round and now
The heads star left, roll it around to the corner girl
Touch 1/4 then you scoot back, boys you fold
Girls right arm turn thru, star thru and promenade around you do
*Hey bird dog get away from my quail
Hey bird dog you're on the wrong trail

Circle to the left
Johnny sings a love song (like a bird)
Sings the sweetest love song (like a bird)
The men star right and ya "hurry, hurry"
Allemande the corner, weave that ring
But when he sings to my gal (he's a dog)
Swing your honey round and promenade her pal
Jokin' ain't so funny (he's a bird dog)
Johnny is a joker tryin' to steal my honey
