Circle left
You've got to dance with who brung you
Swing with who swung you
Don't be a fickle fool
Left allemande the corner girl, dosado
Left allemande, weave you know
You've got to dance with who brung you
Swing with who swung you
Life ain't no forty yard dash
Be in it for the long run, 'cause you'll have more fun
If you dance with who brung you to the bash

Heads (sides) promenade go halfway
Sides will do the right & left thru
Square thru 4 hands around you know
Dosado and do an eight chain 4
You've got to dance with who brung you
Swing with who swung you
Swing that corner, promenade
Be in it for the long run, 'cause you'll have more fun
If you dance with who brung you to the bash

Sides square thru and count 'em 4 hands round
Round that corner dosado
You swing thru and then, boys run right
1/2 tag, scoot back tonight
Boys you fold, double pass thru
Girls peel right
Swing that corner man and promenade
Be in it for the long run, 'cause you'll have more fun
If you dance with who brung you to the bash

Sides promenade and go 'bout halfway
Lead right and do a dosado
Swing thru tonight, once again the boys run right
All the couples circulate, you tag the line and then
Girls go left, the boys go right
Allemande left, hang on, roll promenade, keep her she's yours
Be in it for the long run, 'cause you'll have more fun
If you dance with who brung you to the bash

4 ladies join up hands, circle left inside the ring
Back home and then everybody circle
(talk) Ah, a little western swing
Left allemande, why don't you weave that ring
You've got to dance with who brung you
Swing with who swung you
Life ain't no forty yard dash
Be in it for the long run, 'cause you'll have more fun
If you dance with who brung you to the bash
