Out on the streets that’s where we’ll meet You make the night I always cross the line Tightened our belts abuse ourselves Get in our way, we’ll put you on your shelf Round and round With love we’ll find a way, just give it time Round and round What comes around, goes around I’ll tell you why ---

[Promenade across the floor](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkiJDw1Kung) Sass shay right on out the door Out the door and in to the glade And everybody promenade Step right up, you’re doing fine I’ll pull your beard, you pull mine Yank it again, like you did before Break it up with a tug of war 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 out Shake like a hound dog, shake again Wallow around in the old pig pen Wallow some more, you all know how Roll around like an old fat sow Allemande left with your left hand Follow through with a right-left grand Now lead your partner, the dirty ol’ thing Follow through with an elbow swing Grab a fence post, hold it tight Whomp your partner with all your might Hit him in the shin, hit him in the head Hit him again, the critter ain’t dead Wop him low and wop him high Stick your finger in his eye Pretty little rhythm, pretty little sound Bang your heads 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 flying 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 your head and lift your tail Don’t you stray and don’t you roam Turn it around and promenade home Corn in the crib pen, wheat in the sack Turn your partner, promenade back And now you’re home Bow to your partner Bow to the gent across the hall And that is all! ---

I’m in a hypnotic trance, I want to join in the dance I want to throw my hat into the ring But as the next dance convenes, I see I’m still in my jeans My blouse is definitely second string A tiny lady appears, my protests fall on deaf ears And soon she’s taken me under her wing Now I’m a princess in crinoline, stepping back out and then Dancing like my feet have wings ---

Fellow Texans, I am proudly standing here to humbly see. I assure you, and I mean it- Now, who says I don’t speak out as plain as day? And, fellow Texans, I’m for progress and the flag- long may it fly. I’m a poor boy, come to greatness. So, it follows that I cannot tell a lie. Ooh I love to dance a little sidestep, now they see me now they don’t- I’ve come and gone and, ooh I love to sweep around the wide step, Cut a little swathe and lead the people on. ---

Come all ye Texas Rangers wherever you may be. I’ll tell you of some troubles that happened unto me. My name is nothing extra, so that I will not tell. And here’s to all you Rangers, I’m sure I wish you well. Was at the age of seventeen I joined the jolly band. We marched round San Antonio down to the Ryo Grande. Our Captain, he informed us, perhaps he thought it right. Before we reach the station boys, you’ll surely have to fight. And when the bugle sounded our Captain gave command. To arms, to arms he shouted, and by your horses stand. I saw the smoke ascending; it seemed to reach the sky. And then the thought it struck me, my time had come to die. I saw the Indians coming; I heard them give a yell. My feelings at that moment no human tongue can tell. I saw their glittering lances, their arrows ‘round me flew. And all my strength had left me, and all my courage too. We fought for nine hours fully, before the strife was o’er. The likes of dead and wounded, I never saw before. And when the sun had risen, and the Indians they had fled. We loaded up our rifles and counted up our dead. And all of us were wounded, our noble Captain slain. The sun was shining sadly across that bloody plain. Sixteen, the brave Rangers that never roamed the west, Were buried by their comrades with arrows in their breast. And now my song is ended, I guess I’ve sung enough. The life of any Ranger you see is very tough. And if you have a Mother that don’t want you to roam. I’d advise you by experience, you’d better stay at home ---

That famous day in history the men of the 7th Cavalry went riding on. And from the rear a voice was heard. A brave young man with a trembling word rang loud and clear: What am I doin’ here? Please Mr. Custer, I don’t wanna go Hey, Mr. Custer, please don’t make me go I had a dream last night about the comin’ fight Somebody yelled “attack!” And there I stood with a arrow in my back. Please Mr. Custer, I don’t wanna go ---

It was the hottest day of summer And our final high school dance was just about over I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men And I’ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure water But the preacher’s words I barely heard, as sweet Bonnie Lou gave in She said,” Do you… Wanna go to heaven?" And I said “Yeah, just lead me on.” “Take my hand, can you feel that feelin’?” And I said, “Yes just lead me on” ---
