two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic

Allemande left that corner, walk by one
Right hand round the right hand girl
Turn left hand there at home
4 men star by the right one time tonight
Pass your partner, corner girl left allemande and then
Weave that ring, in and out you know
When you meet with that girl dosado
Promenade don't you linger, put a ring on her finger
Diamonds are a girl's best friend


FIGURE    C4, corner progression

Well those heads (sides) dosado once around you go now
And then square thru 4 hands
Sashay thru the outside 2, hey when you're through
Wheel & deal, sashay thru
Wheel & deal one more time
That corner swing and then promenade
*If you cater to her whims you'll end up buying gems
Diamonds are a girl's best friend


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Your smile may be grand, but she's holding out her hand

*Square cut or pear shape, those rocks don't lose their shape

*It's now that those louses go home with their spouses

TAG

Better swing her
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
