Sides face grand square
From the corners of the country
From the cities and the farms
With years and years of living
Tucked up underneath their arms
4 ladies promenade, get home and swing
Swing your lady, promenade
God bless the boys who make the noise
On Sixteenth Avenue

Heads (sides) star thru, pass thru
Circle four make a line, go in and back
Pass thru, wheel & deal, centers star thru
Pass thru, cloverleaf in time
New centers square thru 3 hands
That corner you swing, swing that lady, promenade
God bless the boys who make the noise
On Sixteenth Avenue

Sides face grand square
(32 beat musical interlude)
4 ladies promenade, swing your own
Swing that lady, promenade
God bless the boys who make the noise
On Sixteenth Avenue

Sides face grand square
Ah, but then one night in some musty room
With the curtains never hung
Like a miracle some golden words
Rolled off of someone's tongue
4 ladies promenade, swing your own
Swing that lady, promenade
And for a while, they'll go in style
On Sixteenth Avenue
