Join your hands, circle left to Sheboygan It's the greatest little town in the world Men star right, girls backtrack round the land Go twice around to your corner, left allemande Grand right and left round the ring now When you meet your little girl, dosado Then you promenade home You can mention my name but please don't tell her where I am
FIGURE Basic, unknown progression
Heads (sides) to the right, there you circle You make a line, go forward and back Two ladies chain across the track, same couples star left You go once around, then the head men lead out Single file round the ring you will travel Girls turn back, swing, promenade Yes, you promenade home You can mention my name but please don't tell her where I am

Mention my name in Sheboygan
It's the greatest little town in the world
Just tell them you're an old friend of mine
And every door in town will have a big welcome sign
So mention my name in Sheboygan
And if you ever get in a jam
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't them where I am
While the teletypes are talkin' and the sirens roar
I'll be hoppin' on a freighter for a foreign shore
Mention my name in Paducah
It's the greatest little town in the world
I know a gal there you'll simply adore
She was Miss Paducah back in 1904
So mention my name in Paducah
And if you ever get in a mess
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't give them my address
While the teletypes are talkin' and the sirens roar
I'll be hoppin' on a freighter for a foreign shore
Mention my name in Elmira
It's the greatest little town in the world
I told the mayor there that he would go far
I even gave the sheriff an exploding cigar
So mention my name in Elmira
And if they try to put you in jail
Mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't write to me for bail
While the teletypes are talkin' and the sirens roar
I'll be hoppin' on a freighter for a foreign shore
Mention my name in Tacoma
It's the greatest little town in the world
I know the big shots in the City Hall
They even got my picture on the post office wall
So mention my name in Tacoma
And if you ever get in a spat
Just mention my name, I said mention my name
But please don't tell them where I'm at
Please don't tell them where I'm at!
