FOUR LADIES PROMENADE go inside - get back and SWING there with your man
Join your hands CIRCLE to the LEFT - go walking ‘round the ring and then
ALLEMANDE LEFT - and WEAVE THE RING
It's that five o'clock 500 - and I run it every day
SWING that Lady ‘round PROMENADE I say
Oh, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way
It's that five o'clock 500 - every day
(Figure):
HEAD LADIES CHAIN - go straight across that ring - HEADS PROMENADE HALFWAY ‘round the ring and then
HEADS LEAD to the RIGHT - VEER to the LEFT and then - you CHAIN DOWN THE LINE and turn that Girl
PASS THE OCEAN - SWING THRU and do it TWICE - SWING the Corner Girl and then you PROMENADE
Oh, the boss just dropped the green - we're on our way
It's that five o'clock 500 - every day
(Tag): SWING - five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500 every day
ORIGINAL LYRICS:
Just punched the clock and boy, am
I ready?
Walkin' out the door headin' home
It's time to buckle up again in my rolling hunk of tin
It's quittin' time the evenin' race is on
It's that five o'clock 500 and I
run it every day
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses all in my way
We've got Darrel, we've got Dale, Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff
Oh, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way
It's that five o'clock 500 every day
Oh, Bubba's runnin' right on my bumper
Pushin' me but there's nowhere to go
Lane changin' left and right, blowin' horns and blinkin' lights
Oh, the fast lane has never been so slow
Well, the
caution is out we're at a stand still
Heard there's construction up ahead
Won't be long so they say, soon we'll all be on our way
Some trucker on the CB just said
It's that five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500 every day
Every day, every day, every day
