Sides face grand square
*My Mama met my Daddy down in Alabam'
They tied the knot - so here I am
Born on the Bayou on the Texas line
Loved Louisiana and raised on Jambalaya
Allemande left and weave around that hall
You swing your girl and promenade you all
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
Didn't take me long - I was born to boogie

Heads (Sides) square thru get four hands and go
Around that corner lady dosado one time you go
You touch 1/4 then walk & dodge my friend
A right & left thru and turn her now
You flutter wheel across that ring and slide thru
You swing your corner girl and promenade you-all
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
Didn't take me long - I was born to boogie

*When I was eighteen I went to Hollywood
I met Elvis, Marilyn and Johnny Be Good
Got my guitar painted in the California sun
A red Cadillac - having too much fun, Allemande, weave
Smile when you meet your girl
Then you swing her around - Promenade around the world
Take it now - (musical interlude)

*Now we were playing them halls and jammin 'em
We moved it all over to the M.G.M.
They said this is the boy we been talking about
He lit a cigar and stuck his ole hand out, Allemande, weave
Weave in and out around and meet your girl
You swing and promenade get around the world
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
Didn't take me long - I was born to boogie

Hey bow to her and she'll bow to you
We're done
