Circle left
Well, she was just seventeen
And you know what I mean
The boys star right turn it one time around for me
Allemande the corner and you weave your ring
Well, how could I dance with another
When I saw her standing there

Heads promenade go halfway 'round
Sides square thru 4 hand 'round that old way and then
Right & left thru, you turn 'em and then
Eight chain 6 let's go
Because I told you before: oh-oh, you can't do that
Swing the corner and you promenade
Because I told you before: oh-oh, you can't do that

The heads you promenade and go halfway
Sides square thru you know
Go all the way and do the right & left thru
Eight chain 6 and rock and roll
She's got a ticket to ride
Swing and whirl your corner, promenade her tonight
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

Circle left
Shake it up, baby, now
Twist and shout
The boys star right one time
Allemande left and you weave the ring
You know you twisting little girl
You know you look so fine
Come on and get a little closer now
And let me know that you're mine

Sides you promenade 'em halfway around
Heads square thru get four hand 'round
All the way and do the right & left thru
Eight chain 6 across the ring and then
Just give me money, that's what I want
You swing and promenade
And all I want oh yeah
That's what I want

Well the sides promenade go halfway 'round that ring there
Heads square thru 4
All the way and then you do the right & left thru
Eight chain 6
I should have known better
Swing your corner, promenade
And I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do

Circle left
Day after day
Alone on a hill
The boys star right turn it one time around
You do an allemande the corner and you weave
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
He never gives an answer...

Sides face grand square
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the world spinning around
