Sides face grand square
Well, he wanted someone firmer and he wanted someone younger
And he always had a thing for blondes
As it happened, his new secretary
Was all that rolled into one
Allemande left and weave
And the woman who had lived with him, an angel who had given him
The last twenty-two years
Is now cryin' big Cadillac tears

Heads square thru and travel 4 now
With the sides make right hand star
Heads star by the left, once to the middle of the set
Same corner girl right & left thru
Swing thru and then swing thru again
Swing that corner, promenade
Aw, she's crying big Cadillac tears

Sides face grand square
Well, she's runnin' through his money so fast it isn't funny
Aw, she's emptied every shop in town
She's buying diamond rings and lots of other shiny things
To wear when she goes steppin' out
Allemande left and weave
And she's headed to her lawyers, cause this morning when he called her
He said: "Checks are pilin' up down here."
Aw, she's crying big Cadillac tears

Girls promenade and strut inside the ring
Back home swing with your boy
Join up hands circle left, go rollin round that set
Allemande left and weave
Well, she's runnin' through his money
So fast it isn't funny
Swing your own and promenade
Aw, she's crying big Cadillac tears
