4 little ladies hit the road, go walkin', talkin' round the ring
Gonna come on home and swing now with your man
Gonna join hands, circle left and moving round the ring
Do a left allemande, weave and sing
Down on Bourbon Street where they get that beat
Swing that doll and promenade
Oh, promenade you all, strutting round that hall
Down on Bourbon Street

Now 1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade you go halfway around that ring
While 2 & 4 (1 & 3) you do the right & left thru, turn your girl
1 & 3 (2 & 4) you square thru 4 hands around the ring you go
Make a right hand star with the outside two and go
Heads (sides) star by the left, go once around you bet
Same ol' two let's swing and promenade
Promenade you all strutting round that hall
Down on Bourbon Street

1 & 3 (2 & 4) you promenade you go halfway around the ring
Come down the middle and square thru go 4
Go four hands and then, swing thru my friend
Let boys run to the right around that girl, ferris wheel
Those center four hang on, California twirl and then
Swing the corner lady, promenade
Oh, promenade you all strutting round that hall
Down on Bourbon Street
