Square Dance

there is a yak from katmandu
who likes to square dance at the zoo
promenade left and do si do
allemande right heel and toe
you didn't think a yak could square dance, did you

Premium Member Alligator Sashay v1

Circle left, hang on tight
Don't get caught in an alligator bite

Allemande left, what you want to do
Is turn that alligator into stew

Do-si-do, listen to the band
Alligator shoes look mighty grand

Roll away to a half sashay
If you're a gator, forget what I say
Form: Lyric

Premium Member Square Dance Patter Sayings

Bow to the partner in the corner
Hey, this dance ain't nothin' but torture!

Heads lean left and circle to a line
Guzzle down that old moonshine!

Roll away to a half sashay
Get down on your knees and pray.

Circle round and round with the dear little thing
but for God's sakes don't let her sing!

Meet your partner and promenade
Slip a little 'shine in the lemonade!

Allemande left with your left hand
Drop him in a big box of quicksand!

Premium Member Dance In The Square


The caller’s voice resonates in the jovial air,
his elegant moves steer on floor each pair.

Hold her, hook her from the rotund rear,
swing her around in circles with full gear.

Do-si-do and promenade in postures wild,
each step entwining your hearts beguiled.

Swirl around like an eddy in rhythmic flair,
dance to the beat of heart in the square.

Allemande steps you’re to deftly do-si-do,
until music fades from square with no clue.
