*Way back in 1810, Prince Louie invited all his friends
To the biggest wedding party in the land
Men star by the right one time around tonight
Left allemande and weave the ring
(Put on your) Lederhosen, (eat your) snickerdoodle
Swing the lady there and promenade
Eins, zwei, drei and ein Prosit
(Who put) the Oomp in the Oom-pah-pah?
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*The mayor taps that big old keg, Schuhplatters can't feel their legs
They are out of sauerkraut in the barn
*Wolfgang and Heidi, they get into a fighty
While someone steals the pretzels and the beer
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads (sides) promenade halfway
Sides (heads) right & left thru
Sides (heads) flutter wheel, sweep 1/4
Centers pass thru, eight chain 4
**Dust off our Glockenspiels, wipe down the Flugelhorns
Swing the lady and promenade her home
Ziggy Zaggy, Ziggy Zaggy, hoi hoi hoi
Welcome to Oktoberfest
