Circle left
Go out yonder, peace in the valley
Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley
Left allemande the corner, dosado you own
Left allemande and weave the ring
Has anybody seen my lady
This living alone will drive me crazy
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Heads square thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a right hand star
The heads star left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a dosado
Swing thru and then the boys trade
Swing the corner lady round and promenade

Circle left
I'm gonna go down by the water
But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
Left allemande the corner, dosado you own
Left allemande and weave the ring
Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Circle left
I just spent sixty days in the jailhouse
For the crime of having no dough, no no
Left allemande the corner, dosado you own
Left allemande and weave the ring
Save your neck or save your brother
Looks like it's one or the other
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
