Four ladies promenade travel one time along
Get back home and swing with your man
Join up all of your hands, circle to the left go walkin' 'long
Do an allemande left with the corner gonna weave the ring
Come on along, little children, come along
Swing that girl and promenade
Come on along and raise your voice in song
Gonna raise a ruckus tonight!

Heads promenade travel halfway and then
Walk in to the middle and do the right & left thru
Flutter wheel and you go, sweep 1/4 more and then
Pass thru and a right & left thru you do
Swing thru and then why don't you swing thru again
Swing that corner, promenade
Tune up that string and let that banjo ring
Gonna raise a ruckus tonight!

Sides face, grand square
Ain't no time to sit and brood
It's time to strike a lively mood
Go and get that old banjo
Just pat your foot and tap your toe
Four ladies promenade, travel one time along
Swing that man and promenade
Come on along and raise your voice in song
Gonna raise a ruckus tonight!

Swing a little lady
Gonna raise a ruckus tonight!
