Why don't those four ladies promenade inside that ring
You're gonna get back and swing with your man
Join your hands and make a ring, circle left go round
You'll do a left allemande, weave the ring
You'll get the bill in the morning marked Paid In Advance
Dosado, promenade
Well you may be good looking and you don't need romance
But everyone needs a friend

Why don't the heads (sides) promenade and go halfway around
Lead to the right and circle to a line
You go forward and back and do a right & left thru
Slide thru, square thru three hands
Why don't you allemande your corner, gonna walk right by your own
Swing that right hand lady round and promenade
Oh well, you may be good looking and you don't need romance
But everyone needs a friend

Why don't those sides face grand square
I may be right and I may be wrong
But I can tell you if the song it is real
Well I been singin' for oh, so long
I can tell you by the way that it feels
Why don't you allemande your corner, and swing with your own
Cause everyone needs a friend
