Walk all around your corners all, see saw ‘round your own little taw

It’s corner right, then back to your baby

Well partner left then come on back to the corner box the gnat

Grand right and left go ‘round the ring, then promenade your pet

There’s nothing as sweet as my baby

Figure:

Well, the first and third (second and fourth) go up and back, pass through but you turn back

Box the gnat, star right with this baby

Corners all left allemande, do-sa-do your own so grand

Go allemande left your corner, walk on by your own

Swing the right hand lady ‘round and promenade her home

I like candy, I like tea, I like girls that swing with me

There’s no one can swing like your baby
