Introductory Call Three
Pick up the tailgate, throw in the sprague,
Whistle at the nippers and watch us rag.
Honor your Partners - and the
Lady on your left, -
Join your hands and circle left
Circle left all the way around,
All the way around the hall,
All four gents listen to the call.
All around your Left Hand Lady,
Right hands to your Partners all,
Grand Right and Left around the hall.

Promenade around the town,
Take those pretty girls right on around,
When you get home just settle down. |
