Circle left
I used to stand on the corner when I was a child
Left allemande, come back you dosado
The men star left
Turn thru at home and go allemande left
Come back, swing the girl and promenade
Spending my time, spending my
Nickles and dimes

Head couples promenade, go halfway around
Come down the middle, go right and left thru
Square thru to four hands, you move it along and go
Make a right hand star
Heads star left in the middle go full turn and then
Swing the corner, promenade
Spending my time, spending my
Nickles and dimes

Sides face, grand square
Nickles and dimes, a song at a time for nickels and dimes
Sidewalk rehearsals for dreams that I held in my mind
Allemande left, weave the ring
So if you remember a child on the corner of time
Swing the girl and promenade
I knew that someday I'd repay all the
Nickels and dimes
