Circle to the left
The holly green, the ivy green, the prettiest picture you've ever seen
It's Christmas in Killarney with all of the folks at home
Walk all around your corner girl, see saw around your pearl
Allemande left the corner girl and weave around the ring
The door is always open, the neighbors pay a call
You promenade your girl go walking round the hall
How grand it feels to click your heels, and join in the fun of the jigs and reels
It's Christmas in Killarney with all of the folks at home

Head couples square thru it's four hands you go
Meet the corner and make a right hand star
Head couples star left inside you go
To the same two and then swing thru
Boys trade, corner swing
Swing the corner, promenade that ring
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas to you

Sides face grand square
The holly green, the ivy green, the prettiest picture you've ever seen
It's Christmas in Killarney with all of the folks at home
It's grand you know to kiss your beau while cuddling under the mistletoe
And Santa Claus we know of course - four boys (girls) promenade
Go once around the land, go home and swing
Swing your lady, promenade 'em home again
How grand it feels to click your heels, and join in the fun of the jigs and reels
It's Christmas in Killarney with all of the folks at home
