OPENER
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights
ALLEMANDE LEFT...C'mon let's WEAVE!
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no

FIGURE
HEADS (SIDES) PROMENADE HALFWAY let it air into this room (someone's knockin' at the door)
SQUARE THRU FOUR hands from the smell of stale perfume (before she's passed out on the floor)
RIGHT & LEFT THRU the outside two about scared me half to death
VEER TO THE LEFT...FERRIS WHEEL let me catch my breath
C'mon SQUARE THRU to THREE
SWING that Corner PROMENADE
That ain't the way to have fun, son
(That ain't the way to have fun, no)

BREAK - CLOSER
FOUR GIRLS PROMENADE getta walk walk walkin' around that ring
Back home to your man & SWING everybody gonna SWING
JOIN HANDS CIRCLE TO THE LEFT around you all
ALLEMANDE LEFT your Corner...C'mon WEAVE this hall!
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun, no
