Sides face grand square
There was a square dance group, all swingin', whirling hotrods
They traveled around the country, doing the dances of the land
They'd yell and have a ball, everytime they'd hear the call
Swing and then left allemande, then promenade the hall
Oh, the one on the right was on the left
And the line on the left was in the middle
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one in the rear said swing her

Head 2 ladies chain across, then couples 1 & 3
Square thru in the middle count 4 hands around for me
Swing thru, then box the gnat, square thru 3/4 round
Swing and whirl with the corner girl, then promenade the town
Oh, the one on the right was on the left
And the line on the left was in the middle
And the one in the middle was on the right
And the one in the rear was the caller

Sides face grand square
This dancing aggregation toured the entire nation
Swinging, whirling, all night long, to the dances of the land
But political animosity made 'em goof the call
Swing and then left allemande, then promenade the hall
Oh, the one on the right was on the bottom
And the line in the middle was in the top
And the one on the left got a busted arm
And the one in the rear said swing her

Sides face grand square
Now this should be a lesson, if you plan to start a dance group
Just practice on your swinging, and do the dances well
But don't start arguing politics, or you're gonna goof the call
Swing and then left allemande, then promenade the hall
Now, the one on the right works in a bank
And the one in the middle drives a truck
The line on the left's an all-night DJ
And the one in the rear says swing her

Now bow to the partner, corners all
Cause the one in the rear says that's all
