Story behind the song
A square set dance with four couples facing each other in a ring. First couple with their backs to the band, second couple opposite the first couple, third couple to the left of the first couple and fourth couple to the right of the first couple. First and second couple are the "head" couples. Third and fourth couples are the "side" couples. Start with the first couple back to back (cheek to cheek!) Band speed up towards the end and general mayhem ensues! If you do it well enough we'll give you another go at the correct speed!
Lyrics
First couple seperate go out around the ring. You pass your partner going out you pass them coming in. Honour your corner lady (person) promenade your own. Sing!. I want to be near you, you're the one for me for me. I want to be near you, you're the one for me. Second couple ... etc... Third couple ... etc... Fourth couple ... etc... Head couples ... etc... Side couples ... etc... Everybody ... etc...
