Circle left
That's life, that's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
Left allemande, curlique with your own, trade and roll
Weave the ring you know
That's life, and it ain't gonna change
Dosado and promenade that ring
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I get back on top, back on top in June

Heads square thru four hands in time
You're gonna split those two, 'round one make a line
Pass thru, turn back, star thru
Circle four halfway, square thru 3/4 round
Do a left allemande, swing the corner, promenade her man
*If I didn't think like wasn't worth a try
I'd jump right on a big bird and fly

Circle left
That's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks just stomping on a dream
Left allemande, curlique with your own, trade and roll
Weave the ring you know
That's life, and it ain't always fair
Dosado and promenade that ring
But I don't let it get me down
Cause this final world keeps spinning round

Circle left
That's life, and I can't deny it
I thought of quitting but my heart just won't buy it
Left allemande, curlique with your own, trade and roll
Weave the ring you know
That's life, and it ain't gonna change
Dosado and promenade that ring
But if there ain't nothing shakin' by July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a great big ball and die
