Everybody, circle left
Oh, Marianne, oh Marianne, oh won't you marry me?
We can have a bamboo hut and brandy by the sea
Allemande left your corner, turn partner by the right
Left allemande and weave the ring tonight (hey!)
All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand

Head (Side) two couples pass the ocean, those ladies trade
Recycle there in the middle and then you pass thru
Make a right hand star and roll it, once around that land
Heads (Sides) star left in middle and turn it once around
Meet your corner, box the gnat same girl swing
Keep that girl and promenade around the ring
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand

Four ladies chain across and turn your Marianne
Rollaway and circle left go walkin' 'round the land
4 ladies rollaway and circle 'round you go
Allemande left your corner weave the ring you know
(Well) all day, all night Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand

Circle left
When we get married, we'll have a time you never saw
I will be so happy that I'll kiss my mother-in-law!
Allemande left your corner, turn partner by the right
Left allemande and weave, Everybody sing now!
All day, all night, Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand
Even little children love Marianne
Down by the seaside siftin' sand

Allemande left
Come back, bow to the partner and the corner too, you're all through
