promenade, promenade say here we go
 i'll rise to the cause
 jitterbug, lindy hop, whatcha got, not a lot
 sail away my thoughts
 watch those curls fly, watch those dresses twirl round
 those pants
 oh i wish i didn't say i could dance
 it's a seven-bob ring to aberdeen
 shake your shillings, shine
 oh shine up your shoes, sing through those lines
 we're going out tonight
 we're off by lantern light
 we're going where the band plays the night
 big brass cones like a cornet bell
 they broadcast the pipes, oh pipers in the air
 ceilidh i might
 these old red wings they clang about
 and her brogues, spin so gracefully
 lace 'em up we're off to ceilidh
 step step rock step send her out
 step step rock step; spin about
 oh i once knew the charleston, and i once clad in full tartan
 she once lived in paraguay, but tonight it don't matter either way
 we're off to dance to night away
 we're off to dance the night away
