4 ladies promenade go once around the ring
Why, come back home, box the gnat and swing
Join up hands and make a ring, circle to the left you know
Left allemande and then you weave that ring and go
You wind in and out around like that
And when you meet that old bobcat
Dosado and promenade
Hey, promenade and listen Jack, you're dancin to the old top cat
At the bobcats down in New Orleans

Now, head 2 couples, square thru 4 hands around the ring you go
And around that corner gal a dosado
Swing thru without a stop spin the top for me
Without a stop do the right & left thru and turn the girl
And square thru 3/4 round the ring
That corner lady swing, you swing that gal and promenade
*Why, Comus, Momus, Garbs of mirth, it's the greatest show on earth
At the Mardi Gras in New Orleans
