 (Opener, Middle Break, Closer): FOUR LADIES PROMENADE inside - pretty flamingo

SWING that Man - around I say - join hands CIRCLE to the left that way

LEFT ALLEMANDE - ALL EIGHT SPIN THE TOP

 - Pretty flamingo

 - SWING and then - you PROMENADE tonight

She's out of reach - and out of sight

 

 

 (Figures):  HEADS TOUCH A QUARTER - GIRLS RUN

DOUBLE PASS THRU - PEEL OFF - go RIGHT AND LEFT THRU

You PASS THE OCEAN - TRADE THE WAVE - EXTEND

LEFT ALLEMANDE - come back and then SWING - and now PROMENADE her

Then every guy will envy me - 'cause paradise is where I'll be

Alternative – “Grand Square” Lyrics:

 

 (Opener): Sides Face Grand Square:

On our block - all of the guys - call her pretty flamingo

'Cause her hair glows like the sun - and her eyes can light the skies

FOUR LADIES CHAIN ACROSS AND BACK

When she moves - she walks so fine - like a pretty flamingo - PROMENADE

Crimson dress that clings so tight - she's out of reach and out of sight

 

 

 (Middle Break - and/or - Closer)

On our block - all of the guys call her pretty flamingo

'Cause her hair glows like the sun - and her eyes can light the skies

FOUR LADIES CHAIN ACROSS AND BACK

Some sweet day - I'll make her mine - pretty flamingo - PROMENADE
Then every guy will envy me - 'cause paradise is where I'll be

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

 

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
'Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the skies
When she moves, she walks so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight

When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would

Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
'Cause paradise is where I'll be

Pretty flamingo
Pretty flamingo

When she walks by she brightens up the neighbourhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would

Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
'Cause paradise is where I'll be

Sha-la-la, la-la-la, pretty flamingo...
