Circle Left
Barefoot with a fishin' rod and all of my good friends
Goin' down to the water, and we're gonna hop on in
Left Allemande, come on home and DoSaDo
Left Allemande the Corner, Weave the Ring
Floating down the channel, muddy water, July sun
Swing that girl and all Promenade (or Just chillin' in a dinghy, yeah, is our idea of fun)
Happy, happy, happy, hanging out with all my friends
Wishing soggy bottom summers never had to end

It's a home town tradition, long weekends in the sun
Blue Jays on the radio, girls and trucks and mud

All 4 Ladies Promenade, once around you go
Get on back, Swing that man, Swing high and low
You join up hands and Circle to the Left, go walkin' 'round that ring
Allemande Left with the Corner, now you Weave around the ring
Floating down the channel, muddy water, July sun
Just chillin' in a dinghy, yeah, is our idea of fun
Happy, happy, happy, hanging out with all my friends
Wishing soggy bottom summers never had to end

Heads/Sides Promenade, halfway 'round the ring
Down the middle, Square Thru, 4 hands around
All the way around, Swing Thru and then
Spin the Top, boys move up and go Right & Left Thru
Half Sashay, Slide Thru
Trade By, Swing your Corners, Promenade
Happy, happy, happy, hanging out with all my friends
Wishing soggy bottom summers never had to end

Soggy bottom summers never had to end
