*Sides face grand square
You can't judge a book by its cover
You can't tell dear if it's good or bad
The book may be in the brightest color
But inside the story may be sad
Allemande left and weave
Though the pages may be stained with pain
Dosado and promenade
You can't judge a book by its cover
Till you've read what's written on each page

Heads square thru 4 hands you go now all the way
And do a right & left thru, turn this girl
Swing thru and then boys run right
Do a 1/2 tag, swing thru tonight
Centers trade, boys run right, square thru 3/4
Swing the corner and promenade
You can't judge a book by its cover
Till you've read what's written on each page

Sides face, grand square
Just because you see somebody smiling
Doesn't mean inside there is no pain
So it doesn't matter what you hear, dear
Don't believe until you know it's true
Allemande left and weave
Though the pages may be stained with pain
Dosado and promenade
You can't judge a book by its cover
Till you've read what's written on each page
