Sides face grand square
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights
Allemande left, c'mon let's weave
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no

Heads (sides) promenade halfway **let some air into this room
Square thru four hands **from the smell of stale perfume
Right & left thru the outside two (about scared me half to death)
Veer to the left, ferris wheel (let me catch my breath)
C'mon square thru to three
Swing that corner, promenade
That ain't the way to have fun, son
(That ain't the way to have fun, no)

Four girls promenade, getta walk-walk-walkin' around that ring
Back home to your man and swing, everybody gonna swing
Join hands, circle to the left around you all
Allemande left your corner, c'mon weave this hall!
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no

Allemande left your corner
Swing your partner
Then bow to your corner
Partner, too
Mama told me not to come
