opener/closer

sides face grand spin
 if you feel down hearted, if you've got the blues
    it's time that you got started, 
          put on your square dance shoes
    and go down to the dance hall where they
           play that square dance beat
    and happiness is measured by the rhythm in your feet
    shake off those blues no time to wait
    put on your shoes don't wanna be late
    your friends are here and we ain't got a dime
    but we're going and we're gonna have a happy time 

figure

head/side couples square thru 4 hands around will do
when you meet that corner, you touch 1/4
follow your neighbor and spread, move around that floor
recycle then you sweep 1/4 more
now touch 1/4 and triple scoot
boys run right, swing your corner & promenade her too
 your friends are here and we ain't got a dime
    but we're going and we're gonna have a happy time 

break

circle left
 the caller's there & waiting to let those records spin
    it's time for celebrating so let the fun begin 
walk around your corner, seesaw your own
allemande left your corner & weave the ring you know
 shake off those blues, no time to wait 
dosado and promenade
 your friends are here & we ain't got a dime
    but we're going and we're gonna have a happy time
