Head ladies chain 'cross the way and don't delay
Chain 'em left, turn 'em boys, then roll away
Roll away, join hands and circle left
2 by 2, promenade go with your pet
1 & 3 wheel around, pass thru the two you've found
On you go, cross trail thru, then corners swing
Swing that corner high and low, balance out then dosado
Then to your corner go, left allemande
Come on back, box the gnat, ladies walk inside the track
When you meet your Waterloo, just box it back
*Promenade and don't you cry, don't you know that by and by
Everybody has to meet his Waterloo

Left allemande, partner right and turn back one
Left allemande, go forward 2 and just for fun
Turn back one, dosado there with your own
Then you swing this girl around right there at home
Left allemande, weave by 2, in and out you're doin' fine
Swing and whirl with the next one down the line
With your corner allemande, pass one and don't just stand
Box the gnat, change hands, left allemande
It's a grand ol' right & left, you go trudgin' round the set
Promenade when you meet your Waterloo
Everybody has his day, everybody has to pay
Everybody has to meet his Waterloo

*Promenade and look real wise, she's your consolation prize

*Promenade her by your side, looks as if you're satisfied

*Promenade with Clara Lou, in her size eleven shoe

*Promenade her down the aisle, grin and bear it with a smile
