Lyrics
Caller Now wedded pair come to the fore ... Left foot exposed; toe swipe the floor. Groom show his leg; reveal that sock Bride do likewise; now men don't gawk Once again with the foot's that's right Those argyle socks are quite a sight Many colors and various shapes A bit more odd than pleated drapes Argyle patterns are never square Diamond dance beyond compare Now once you've made a tour around Do it again foot to the ground Just drag that foot; don't lift it up Move right along and stay heads-up The foot-drag dance unique to trees Tree-wedding custom if you please Hey, trail that foot; you can't go wrong Scuffle home again where you belong The argyle dance - just bride and groom Show us some leg all 'round the room May all your problems be little ones If not right away stick to your guns Oh, happiness to groom and bride May good fortune be on your side Prosper always in healthy life Our best to you, husband and wife Our best to you, husband and wife. Hey!
