INTRO - MIDDLE BREAK - ENDING
Circle to the left
Oh mama and poppa told me, son you've got to go to school
It's the only way to make the family proud
Then all 4 ladies chain, you turn her left around
Then chain that lady back across that town
Why don't you walk around that corner lady, see saw your own
Left allemande then promenade
I paid no attention, I left my books at home
Now I'm tearin' up the country with a song
FIGURE
Those head 2 you square thru 4 hands around will do
And with the outside 2 you curlique, walk & dodge
And when you're through do a partner trade and a right & left thru and then
Flutter wheel go straight across that land
Why don't you slide thru, left allemande, do a dosado that maid
Star thru with the corner, promenade
I paid no attention, I left my books at home
Now I'm tearin' up the country with a song
