Circle left
Just got home from Illinois, locked the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down and take a rest on the porch
Men star right and go now, one time around the ring
Allemande with your corner girl then weave around the ring
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Turn thru, left allemande and promenade the ring
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singing
Do, Do, Do, lookin' out my back door

Now the heads promenade and go half around the ring
Down the middle and pass thru
Separate around one
Come down the middle and a right & left thru
Full turn around you do
Everybody touch 1/4, split circulate
Let's hinge, boys cross fold
Swing the corner, one time around and promenade the ring
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singing
Do, Do, Do, lookin' out my back door

Circle left
Giants doing cartwheels, statues wearin' high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the floor
Men star right and go now, one time around the ring
Allemande with your corner girl then weave around the ring
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Turn thru, left allemande and promenade the ring
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singing
Do, Do, Do, lookin' out my back door

Four ladies chain across
Four ladies make a right hand star half way to a dopaso
Sides face grand square
Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon
Wondrous apparitions provided by magicians
Do, Do, Do, lookin' out my back door
