Sides face grand square
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Four ladies promenade around I sing
Get back and swing and promenade the ring
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Heads (sides) you pass the ocean, then extend
Swing thru then, swing thru again
All eight circulate and then girls trade
Swing thru there, the boys run right
Tag the line and the girls turn right
Corner swing and promenade tonight
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me

Sides face grand square
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we sway I go weak
Allemande and weave
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Promenade
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
