Sides face left, make an arch, heads face right and duck right under
Dip and you dive all the way home and don't you blunder
Allemande left your corner, put an arm around your partner
Star promenade her, do the Jessie Polka Dance
Left forward, right back, right forward, left heel, left toe
Two step (four) girls roll back one gent, do it again
Left forward, right back, right forward, left heel, left toe
Two step (four) girls roll back one gent, one more time
Left forward, right back, right forward, left heel, left toe
Two step (four) girls roll back swing and promenade
Promenade this lady, keep her for your partner
Take her home and balance till the music starts again

Side 2 couples arch, heads to the right duck right under
Dip and you dive, home you go, just like thunder
Allemande left your corner, put an arm around your partner
Star promenade her, to the Jessie Polka Dance
It's a heel and a toe, we'll start the room a-jumpin'
Girls roll back one man, you can see their bustles bumpin'
We'll dance through the night as though it were a minute
Our hearts are really in it, do the Jessie Polka Dance
Watch for the girl in front, and when she comes around
Take her in your arms, swing her round and round
Promenade this lady, keep her for your partner
Take her home and balance till the music starts again
