INTRO

Allemande left, allemande thar, right & left form a star
Gent back up now, this girl is not your own
Shoot that star full around,
Gents star right across the town
Allemande left and you weave around that ring
In & out don't touch a thing, meet your honey right hand swing
Allemande left the corner maid, come back one, promenade
Promenade her home, then swing her there alone
Well it's nobody's business but our own

FIGURE    C1, corner progression

4 ladies chain, then couples 1 & 3 (2 & 4)
Go forward up and back, then do a 1/2 square thru
See saw round the outside two, all the way an ocean wave
Lines trade (Trade The Wave)*, without a stop, do a right & left thru
Dive thru, square thru 3/4 round you go
Swing the corner lady, then take her promenade
Just promenade with me, get back home don't you see
It's nobody's business but our own

FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Basic, corner progression

Head 2 couples right & left thru, turn your girl, star thru
Pass thru, right & left thru the outside two
Dive thru, square thru 3/4 round you do
Allemande left and you weave around that ring
In & out around like that, meet this girl, box the gnat
Pull her by, swing the corner there for me
Promenade with me, get back home then you'll see
It's nobody's business but our own

*Lines trade: From an ocean wave or two-faced line. Dancers facing the same direction trade places with each other in their own line, passing right shoulders. All move at the same time and end up in the same line they started in but facing in opposite direction. No need to balance.
(this movement is now called Trade The Wave)
