Sides face, grand square
Seventy-six trombones led the big parade
With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuosos
The cream of every famous...
Four ladies promenade, swing that man
Allemande left and promenade
There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds
There were horns of every shape and size

Heads promenade travel halfway round
Walk in square thru four hands round and then
Go all the way, go right & left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel you do
Centers square thru travel three hands then
Swing the corner and promenade go round the ring
Clarinets of ev'ry size and trumpeters who'd improvise
A full octave higher than the score

Four boys promenade
Swing your own, join up hands, circle left
There were more than a thousand reeds springing up like weeds
Left allemande, weave the ring
Seventy-six trombones led the big parade
With a hundred and ten cornets close at hand
They were followed by rows and rows of the finest virtuosos
The cream of every famous band

Allemande and swing
The cream of every famous band
