Now 4 little ladies chain across, turn 'em with a left around
Then roll away and swing somebody new
Join hands and make a ring, circle to the left like everything
I don't mean a word I'm saying,
it's just a party game we're playing
Roll away then swing the next little darling
Left allemande, then promenade that floor
And as the years roll by, you'll sit and wonder why
Nobody calls you darling anymore

Now 1 & 3 lead to the right and circle
You'll make a line and do a right & left thru
Star thru, then dosado, it's once around you go
Make an ocean wave and don't be late,
You swing thru, girls circulate
The boys will trade and swing a brand new darling
Left allemande, then promenade that floor
You've got a brand new different maid,
take her home in a promenade
Or she won't call you darling anymore
