Let's join hands make a ring, circle left, now corners swing
Put 'er on your right and circle eight, go round the ring again
Walk all around your corner, promenade a brand new maid
Promenade, then all four couples backtrack, you've got it made
Four little ladies turn back, once around your roam
Allemande left that same ol' gal, then promenade your own
Promenade this girl around with twinkling eyes of blue
You'll find she's a heartache, too

Your corner dosado, then promenade the gal that's boss
Head (side) couples wheel around, and box the gnat across
Back up and make two lines, the center four star left
Go once around and then, pick up the one that you just left
Inside ladies rollaway, the heads (sides) you wheel around
Trail thru, your corners swing, then promenade on down
Promenade this lovely maid, she's sweet as honeydew
It's a shame she's a heartache, too
