Now the 4 little ladies chain across, you turn 'em by the left go round
Now roll away and swing somebody new
Join hands and make the ring, circle to the left like everything
I don't mean a word I'm saying
It's just a part of a game we're playing
Roll away then swing the next little darling
Left allemande and promenade that floor
And as the years go by you'll *sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you darling any more

*still be wondering why (jump to TAG)

Now 1 & 3 (2 & 4) lead to the right and circle
You'll make the line and do a right & left thru
Star thru and dosado, it's once around you go
Make an ocean wave and don't be late, you swing thru, girls circulate
The boys will trade and swing a brand new darling
Left allemande and promenade that floor
**You've got a brand new, different maid
**Take her home and promenade
Or she won't call you darling any more

**You promenade go round with the gal that you have found
