Join your hands and circle to the left a little while
Reverse back, circle right, let's make it single file
Girls keep walking like you are, men turn in a right hand star
Pass her once, pass her twice and the corner you will find
Left allemande the corner, it's a grand old right & left
When you meet again, we'll promenade the set
Take a walk with me, this is where you ought to be
I'm gonna lock my heart and throw away the key

1 & 3 promenade go halfway round the world
Into the middle, circle half and do a little frontier whirl
Separate around just one, in the middle box the gnat
Make a right hand star out there in the middle once around like that
Left allemande the corner, turn the partner by the right
Swat the flea with the corner girl and promenade tonight
Promenade with me, don't you ever set me free
I'm gonna lock my heart and throw away the key
