Singing contra. Lyrics:

"Dosido that Neighbor gal, and then you Swing her too,
Swing that gal around, face across, Right and Left Thru,
Ladies Cross Back and Swing your Partner, yeah swing, that's what you do,
You Swing your own Partner, Face Down the Hall and you march it south, GO,
Four in line, doin fine now, California Twirl, come back,
March along, sing a song, Bend the Line and the Ladies Chain,
Chain chain, chain I say, a Right and Left thru back the other way,
Courtesy Turn, put her on the right, face a New Neighbor and Dosido,"
