Circle left
*I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Walk around your corner lady, see saw your own
Left allemande and you weave the ring
I used to roll the dice
Swing your girl around and promenade
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead, long live the king

Heads square thru count 'em 4 hands round
You make a right hand star
The heads star left, roll it one time and then
Same pair and do a dosado
Swing thru and then the boys trade
Swing the corner lady round and promenade
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Sides face grand square
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries [in a foreign field]
Allemande left and weave the ring
For some reason, I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
