Circle left
I was at a dance
When he caught my eye
Allemande you go
Dosado, allemande left, weave the ring
Lookin' sad and shy, swing and promenade
And soon I knew, I'd never let him go

Heads (Sides) square thru
Take it four hands you know
Dosado you go, swing thru
Boys you run, wheel & deal and eight chain 4
Swing your corner, promenade
And soon I knew, I'd never let him go

Sides face grand square
Now was it the moon
Or the stars above
Now was it the tune
Ye, yeh, the Bossa Nova
Four boys promenade
Get home and swing
You promenade around the ring you go
I'm gonna say to them without a doubt

Sides face grand square
Blame it on the Bossa Nova
With it's magic spell
Blame it on the Bossa Nova
That she did so well
Allemande left and weave
Oh, it began with just one little dance
But soon it ended up a big romance
Swing and promenade
The dance of love

Swing her
The dance of love
