Sides face, grand square
It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day
And talk about the hometown a million miles away
Is the ice still in the river, are the old folks still the same?
And by the way, did she mention my name?
Four ladies chain straight across, turn and chain the ladies home
Take her by the hand and then promenade
Is the home team still on fire, do they still win all their games?
And by the way, did she mention my name?

Heads promenade and go halfway around that ring
Come down the middle, right & left thru, turn the girl I sing
Flutter wheel across, sweep 1/4 more
Pass thru and a right & left thru, turn the girl once more
Swing thru and then those boys run to the right
Half tag, swing the corner, you promenade tonight
Is the old roof still leaking, when the big snow turns to rain?
And by the way, did she mention my name?

Four ladies chain, go straight across that ring
You roll away and circle, you circle to the left I sing
Four ladies roll away and then you circle to the left that way
Left allemande, weave around that ring
Did she mention my name just in passing?
Swing the girl and then, we'll all promenade
Is the home team still on fire, do they still win all their games?
And by the way, did she mention my name?

Sides face, grand square
Is the landlord still a loser, do his signs hang in the hall?
Are the young girls still as pretty in the city in the fall?
Does the laughter on their faces still put the sun to shame?
And by the way, did she mention my name?
Four ladies chain straight across, turn and chain the ladies home
Take her by the hand and then promenade
Is the old roof still leaking, when the big snow turns to rain?
And by the way, did she mention my name?
