Four ladies chain, you turn there with your girl
You roll away, boy, circle the world
Four ladies roll away, circle the town
Left allemande and you weave it around
Always look on the bright side of life
You swing and promenade
Always look on the bright side of life

Heads you promenade, halfway you go
Walk in and square thru four hands you know
Go all the way, swing thru so fine
Boys you run, ferris wheel in time
Square thru, 3/4 around and give a swing
Promenade that pretty thing
Always look on the bright side of life

Sides face, grand square
If life seems jolly rotten there's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing
Allemande left and weave
Always look on the bright side of life
You swing and promenade
Always look on the bright side of life

Four ladies chain 3/4 around now
You roll away, boy, circle the town
You'll see it's all a show, keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you
Allemande left and weave
Always look on the bright side of death
You swing and promenade
Just before you draw your terminal breath
Swing her
