Sides face grand square
You can't break your eggs to count your chickens
You can't break your neck to keep your ducks all in a row
But don't think every chance you take, has to mean a new mistake
It ain't necessarily so
Left allemande and weave
I laugh when I can and I live with the rest
Swing and promenade
They say you just can't be too careful who you know
But that ain't necessarily so

Heads promenade halfway around
Walk in and square thru 4 hands
All the way around and then
Do the right & left thru
Veer left, and ferris wheel around
Centers square thru 3
Swing and promenade
They say you just can't be too careful who you know
But that ain't necessarily so.

Sides face grand square
Depending on the soil and the season
You can plant a seed and watch it grow
You can't have a guarantee 'cause everything that ought to be
Ain't necessarily so
Left allemande and weave
I laugh when I can and I live with the rest
I learned that holding on means letting go
They say you just can't be too careful who you know
But that ain't necessarily so

Sides promenade halfway around
Walk in and square thru 4 hands
All the way around and then, do the right & left thru
Veer left, and ferris wheel around
Centers square thru 3
Swing and promenade
They say you just can't be too careful who you know
But that ain't necessarily so

4 ladies promenade, promenade inside of the ring
Back home and give your man a swing
Join hands and circle left, circle left I say
Left allemande and weave the ring
I laugh when I can and I live with the rest
I learned that holding on means letting go
They say you just can't be too careful who you know,
But that ain't necessarily so
