Honor your old fashioned girl
Hold her close, swing and whirl
Then promenade that ring
Now promenade single file, ladies in the lead and watch 'em smile
Dosado your honey as she comes around to you
Swing her once or twice, just like your daddy used to do
Then you promenade that girl
She's just like the girl that married dear old dad

Head gents swing your maids
Take those girls and promenade just halfway round that ring
Right & left thru right up to the middle
Hurry up, boys, keep time to the fiddle
Your left hand ladies chain
All 4 ladies chain across the hall
Chain right back again, don't let 'em fall
Promenade this new little girl
She's just like the girl that married dear old dad

Dosado your corner girl, go back home, swing and whirl
Swing the girl like dear old daddy said
Allemande left with the ol' left hand
Partner right and a right & left grand
Hand over hand around the ring you go
Now you dosado the girl with eyes so blue
Swing her round and round, just like your daddy used to do
Then you promenade that girl
She's just like the girl that married dear old dad
