Circle left
I'm the official historian on Shirley Jean Berrell
Walk all around the corner and see saw your taw
The gents star by the right hand go once round the land
Left allemande the corner and you weave around the ring
I can tell you her birthday and her daddy's middle name
Dosado your partner and promenade and sing
I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell
And Shirley she knows me just as well

1 & 3 flutter wheel and sweep 1/4 more
When you're through, you pass thru and then you circle 4
Halfway around, then veer to the left and couples circulate
Do a wheel & deal and pass thru, trade by and then
Slide thru and square thru 3/4 go
Swing the corner lady and you promenade her home
I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell
And Shirley she knows me just as well

Sides face grand square
I can tell you her favorite song and where she likes to park
And why to this very day she's scared of the dark
How she got her nickname and that scar behind her knee
If there's anything you need to know about Shirley just ask me
4 little ladies chain go straight across the ring
Chain those ladies right back home and promenade and sing
I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell
And Shirley she knows me just as well

Sides face grand square
I know where she's ticklish and her every little quirk
The funnies she reads and her number at work
I know what she stands for and what she won't allow
The only thing that I don't know is where she is right now
4 little ladies chain go straight across the ring
Chain those ladies right back home and promenade and sing
I caught her the first time she stumbled and fell
And Shirley she knows me just as well
