Allemande left and allemande thar, right and left and form a star
Men back down the line
Shoot that star full turn, wrong way grand around you'll learn
It's hand over hand around the ring you roam
Your partner right full turn, your corner left allemande
Come back and promenade your maid
Yes you promenade your honey
She'll take all your money
When your pay day rolls around

And now the heads promenade halfway round with your maid
Into the middle and swing star thru, face the sides
You'll circle 4, let's make a line
Up to the middle, come back, cross trail thru, men star right
Girls promenade you know, it's twice around you go
Partner left, full turn around you whirl, corner promenade
*Your corner promenade, you take a walk with this maid
When your pay day rolls around

*As a partner she's a riot
But there's one day she turns pirate
That's when pay day rolls around

*Promenade with this new lady
She's a one day loving baby
When your pay day rolls around
