Circle to the left
Nickels and dimes, memories and wine
She's on his mind once again
Left allemande, then box the gnat
4 ladies promenade inside two times
But there's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
Swing your girl around & promenade her too
But it's a fool hearted memory, it sits patiently
Every night so it can fool him more

Heads (sides) square thru 4 hands you do
You meet the sides, make a right hand star
Heads star left, one time you go
To the same 2, go right & left thru
Swing thru & then, you're gonna swing thru again
Swing that corner girl & promenade her round & then
Oh it's a fool hearted memory, it sits patiently
Every night so it can fool him more

Circle to the left
She was his girl, his only world
That string of pearls that slipped away
Left allemande, then box the gnat
4 ladies promenade inside two times
He fills the jukebox, then plays the same old song
Swing your girl around & promenade her too
But it's a fool hearted memory, it sits patiently
Every night so it can fool him more
