This is a singing square, so choose a key that suits your voice.
The words are:
Now the first couple promenade the square
All the way, till you get back where you were.
Right-hand star across the mountain, back with the left hand,
Face your partners all and do-si do.
Well you do-si-do your partners one and all.
And you swing that girl around; don't let her fall.
Then you promenade the mountain, promenade the mountain,
Promenade your partner way back home.
Music: Own tune
