All join hands and circle left, go walking round the town
When you get back home again, you settle down
Four couples forward up to the middle, and then you come on back
Face your partner, dosado, right shoulder back to back
Left hand to the corner, turn her by the left, left allemande you know
Dosado your partner, bow to your partner, promenade
Oh, promenade this lady, stay smooth and keep it neat
Go round the hall, hear my call, to the ragtime beat

All face right, go single file, go walking round the ring
When you get back home again, square your sets and then
Face your partner, dosado, right shoulder round you go
Four men go forward up to the middle and come on back you know
Left hand to the corner, turn her by the left, left allemande that maid
Dosado, go round your partner, take your corner, promenade
Promenade that lady, you keep her, yes you do
She's an apple from your teacher, boys, a gift from me to you
