INTRODUCTION:
INTRODUCTION:
Now you bow, swing your partner
Then you join hands and circle left
Walking on your heel ond then your toe
Sashay round your corner
Come back and swing your partner
Everybody swing that calico
Allemande left with your left hand
Partner right go right and left grand
Meet and promenade that gal you know
Promenade around the ring
Walk that lady back home again
Promenade that gal in calico
FIGURE:
FIGURE:
First and third go up and back
Forward again in the same old track
Sashay opposite lady once around
Take that gal, split your corner,
Head for home, sashay (left shoulders) your partner
Swing that corner lady round and round
Four little ladies make a ring and turn it once around
Sashay round the guy you swung before
Four gents promenade once around and swing that maid
Swing all eight, you swing 'em off the floor
Repeat for head couples
Repeat for head couples
Repeat introduction
Repeat twice for side couples figure
Repeat introduction as ending with the last three lines of the introduction as follows
Promenade two by two
Walk that lady home with you
And thank that pretty gal in calico . . .
