Four ladies promenade one time around
Get back swing your lady around somehow
Join hands and circle to the left awhile
Allemande the corner of the hall and weave around the ring
Working for a living,
Yes I'm working for a living
Yeah working for a living, living and a working
Takin' what they're giving, cause I'm working for a living

Heads (Sides) promenade and go halfway today
Walk in and then pass the ocean I say
Extend, girl trade, you swing thru today
C'mon spin the top, the boy get up and recycle 'round
The boy scoot back, girls you dodge and swing
Swing a little girl and you promenade her for me
Working for a living, living and a working
Takin' what they're giving, cause I'm working for a living
