Circle left
Well, I've come here to tell you folks I'm ragged, but right
Allemande the corner girl, dosado tonight
And then the men star left and travel one time around
Turn your partner right, allemande left and weave the ring
Got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
Swing your own and promenade when you meet

Walk in and square thru, 4 hands and then
4 hands around you go and then a right & left thru there

Got a big electric fan to keep me cool while I sleep
