Bugs was pulling the trick on the feuding hillbillies and not Yosemite. (starts out with a real square-dance caller on the juke box) Let's all square dance! Places all! Bow to your corner, bow to your own. Three hands up and 'round you go! Break it up with a do-se-do. Chicken in the bread box, kickin' out dough, Skip-to-the-loo-my-dahlin! Old lady out - you pretty little thing! Promenade around the ring. Big foot up and little foot down, Make that big foot jaw the ground. The lady step back and two gents in, Back you go and forward again! Step right up with an elbow swing, Skip-to-the-loo-my-dahlin! All the man left, the old left hand, Follow through with the right-left grand! Meet your honey with a great big smile! Promenade Indian-style! (Bugs kicks out the plug and takes over himself here) Promenade across the floor! Sashay right on out the door! Out the door and into the glade, And everybody promenaaaaaade! Step right up - yer doin' fine, I'll pull your beard - you pull mine! Yank it again, like you did before! Break it up with a tug-o-waaaaaar! Now into the brook and fish for the trout! Dive right in and splash about! Trout! Trout! Pretty little trout! One more splash, and come right oooooout! Shake like a hound dog! Shake again! Wallow around in the ol' pig pen! Wallow some more, you all know how! Roll around like an ol' fat sow. All the man left with your left hand, Follow through with a right-left grand! Now leave your partner, the dirty old thing! Follow through with an elbow swing! Grab a fence post, hold it tight! Whop your partner with all your might! Hit him in the chin! Hit him in the head! Hit him again - the critter ain't dead! Whop him low and whop him high! Stick your finger in his eye! Pretty little ringing, pretty little sound! Bang your head against the ground! Promenade all around the room! Promenade like a bride and groom! Open up the door and step right in, Close the door and into a spin! Whirl! Whirl! Twist and twirl! Jump all around like a flyin' squirrel! Now don't you cuss and don't you swear, Just come right out and form a square! Now right hand over and left hand under, Both join hands and run like thunder! Over the hill and over the dale, Duck you head and lift your tail! Don't you stray and don't you roam, Turn around and promenade home! Corn in the crib pen, wheat in the sack, Turn your partner and promenade back! (over the cliff!) And now you're home! Bow to your partner, Bow to the gent across the hall! And *that* is all! --- Now *this* is classic stuff. -- /\ Mark D.
