Do an allemande left, an allemande thar, go right & left and star
The men back up in the middle now, you make a right hand star
Now shoot the star go full around, with your corner box the gnat
Grand right & left now, go round the set
It's in and out till you meet this girl, then do a dosado
Left allemande that corner, come on back and promenade
*No wonder people look at me and say when I come around
Where is the circus, here comes the clown

Head ladies to the right you chain and turn this girl around
The new head ladies chain now, go straight across that town
Heads promenade the outside, and you go about halfway
Square thru in the middle 4 hands I say
Go right & left thru the outside two, you turn and then dive thru
You pass thru, left allemande, then promenade you do
**You're like an organ grinder, I'm your monkey runnin' round
Where is the circus, here comes the clown
