Corner Girl Swing
Explosive 1950s square-dance rockabilly fusion, blazing fiddle leads, slap upright bass, telecaster twang, stomping wooden floor percussion, handclaps, rowdy barn crowd shouts, energetic male caller vocals with gang responses, washboard accents, train-beat drumming, vintage dancehall mono atmosphere, chaotic joyful Americana energy, fast tempo around 168 BPM, sweaty county fair nighttime vibe

Lyrics
Intro
(fiddle tuning, crowd chatter, boot stomps)
Well grab your hat and clear the floor!
Caller’s back and the barn wants more!
Hey hey! Here we go now!
Verse 1
Lantern swinging from a cedar beam
Dust kicked up like a fever dream
Red dress spinning by the old coke sign
Boot heels cracking right on time
Farmer’s daughter laughing wild
Preacher’s son gone country-styled
Band in the corner burning hot
Whole darn room tied in knots
Pre-Chorus
Allemande left now don’t move slow
Do-si-do let the whole thing blow
Swing that girl till the rafters shake
This old barn might finally break
Chorus
Swing your corner girl tonight
Round and round till the morning light
Heel toe thunder on the wooden floor
Spin her once then spin her more
Swing your corner girl don’t stop
Fiddle screaming till the rooftop pops
Allemande left let the big wheel twirl
Saturday fever with a corner girl
Verse 2
Sheriff dancing with the widow May
Schoolkids sneaking sips of cabernet
Grandma clapping off the beat
Still got lightning in her feet
Caller sweating through his vest
Yelling like a man possessed
“Promenade now don’t be shy!”
Couples flying crooked by
Bridge
(breakdown: stomps + handclaps + fiddle solo)
Swing her high swing her low
Round the fire watch her go
Boots like thunder sparks like rain
Everybody losing sane
HEY!
Final Chorus
Swing your corner girl tonight
Barn boards shaking left and right
Moonshine hearts and neon swirls
Whole town dancing corner girls
Swing your corner girl real fast
Dance like nothing ever lasts
Allemande left now give a whirl
Long live the corner girl
Outro
(fiddle spirals upward, crowd shouting)
Do-si-do!
Allemande left!
Swing your corner girl!
HAHAHA!
