Molly Brooks has gone to the isle,
Molly Brooks has gone to the isle,
Molly Brooks has gone to the isle,
And I hope she'll never return.
I hope she'll never return,
I hope she'll never return.
Molly Brooks has gone to the isle,
And I hope she'll never return.

Your right hand to your partner,
The left one to your neighbor,
The right one to the one you meet,
And all promenade,
And all promenade,
And all promenade.
Oh, the right hand to the one you meet,
And all promenade.

(Mr. Ash: "And then you go "Molly Brooks" again, start all over again, until all four couples is out, or until all the players are out.")
