Sides face, grand square
*Well it's Friday night and I just got paid, Got money in my pocket to spend
Headin' on down to the fais do-do, to meet with all my friends
They got alligator stew and crawfish pie, and jugs of homemade wine
And a cajun band that's playin' it up
Allemande and weave the ring
Hey oh away we go, love to dance in line
Swing your partner and promenade, we're havin' a good time
Hey oh away we go, stayin' all weekend
When we all go to the fais do-do, good times never end

Heads (Sides) square thru in the middle and you get 4 hands you go
All the way and make a wave, swing thru you know
Boys run to the right and the couples circulate
Chain down the line well turn there with that date
Star thru, pass thru, trade by and then
Swing Cajun corner girl and promenade my friend (Full)
Hey oh away we go, stayin' all weekend
When we all go to the fais do-do, good times never end

All four ladies gonna promenade one time around that ring
Get on back and swing your partner round and round again
Join your hands circle to the left go moving round you go
Allemande left your corner and weave the ring you know
Hey oh away we go, love to dance in line
Swing your partner and promenade, we're havin' a good time
Hey oh away we go, stayin' all weekend
When we all go to the fais do-do, good times never end
