Duck For The Oyster

Hit it maestro

Duck rock

All join hands and circle south

A little bit of moonshine in your mouth

Hold your hoe and resashay

Come on back the other way

First couple out to the couple on the right

Circle up four for half the night

Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck

Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig

Knock a hole in the old tin can

Circle up two and buckle up four

Away you go around the floor

Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck

Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig

Knock a hole in the old tin can

Circle up two and buckle up four

Away you go around the floor

Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck

Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig

Knock a hole in the old tin can

And everybody swing

Swing her high

Swing her low

Swing the gal in calico

Promenade around you go

Promenade

Next couple out to the couple on the right

Circle up four for half the night

Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck

Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig

Knock a hole in the old tin can

Circle up two and buckle up four

Away you go around the floor

Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck

Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig

Knock that hole in the old tin can

Circle up two and buckle up four

Away you go around the floor

Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck

Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig

Knock a hole in the old tin can

And everybody swing

Swing her high

Swing her low

Swing the gal in calico

Promenade around you go

Promenade

Fourth couple out to the couple on the right

Circle up four for half the night

Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck

Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig

Knock a hole in the old tin can

Circle up two and buckle up four

Away you go around the floor

Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck

Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig

Knock a hole in the old tin can

Circle up two and buckle up four

Away you go around the floor

Duck for the oyster, duck, duck, duck

Dig for the clam, dig, dig, dig

Knock that hole in the old tin can

Allemande left as you go around

With a big foot up and a little foot down

Like an Indian walking on the frozen ground

Hey sift your meal and mix your dough

Save your heel, tap your toe

Take your honey and walk her slow

Promenade

You know where

And I don't care

Take your honey to a nice, soft chair.

Thank you partners
