Circle left
As the maid poured the wine
We prepared to dine
I knew I was feeling out of place
Men star right rolling round the ring
Left allemande and weave the ring
I'm just a common man, drive a common van
Swing your girl, promenade
And if I had my say, I'm gonna stay that way
And a common man's what I'll be

Heads (Sides) square thru four
Go all the way do a dosado
Swing thru and then boys run right
Bend the line and a right & left thru
Pass the ocean, recycle her
Swing the corner lady, promenade
And if I had my say, I'm gonna stay that way
And a common man's what I'll be

Four Ladies chain go 3/4s round
You turn the girl and circle left
Four ladies rollaway and circle to the left
Left Allemande and weave the ring
I'm just a common man, drive a common van
My dog ain't got a pedigree
And if I had my say, I'm gonna stay that way
And a common man's what I'll be

Four ladies promenade inside the ring
Get back and swing your man
Join hands and circle left go round
Left allemande, weave the ring
I'm just a common man, drive a common van
My dog ain't got a pedigree
And if I had my say, I'm gonna stay that way
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity
