Circle left
Sittin' in a small cafe with a peso in my hand
Watchin' all those children on the street
Men star by the right hand, go once around the land
Allemande that corner girl, weave that ring now
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose
Swing that girl around and promenade her too
When I own your back, be careful what you choose
There is another case of those Mexicali blues

Those head two couples promenade go half around the ring
Down the middle, pass the ocean there, extend
Swing thru and then, boys run right my friend
Hey ferris wheel move to the middle and now centers pass thru
Slide thru, touch 1/4, then the girl run right
Swing a little corner girl and promenade tonight
When I own your back, be careful what you choose
Or it's another case of those Mexicali blues

Four ladies chain across, you turn that girl and then
Roll away, then circle round the ring
Those 4 little ladies gonna roll away, circle left again
Allemande that corner girl, weave that ring now
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose
*Swing that girl around and promenade her too
When I own your back, be careful what you choose
Or it's another case of those Mexicali blues
