Song Description

Sometimes you don't need a deep metaphor -- just a fiddle, a fire in your feet, and someone to spin under the moonlight. "Spin That Girl Around" is a good old-fashioned hoedown wrapped in rhythm, laughter, and a little front-porch romance. It's a square dance call, a party song, and a musical slice of small-town magic. From banjos to boot heels, it's the kind of night you don't forget -- and the kind of love that sneaks up between songs. So grab a hand, stomp the ground, and shout "yee-haw

Lyrics

"Spin That Girl Around"
(by Yves Stilmant © 2025)

Verse 1
Well the moon's up high and the lights are low,
The floorboards creak and the fiddles glow.
Grab your boots and stomp them twice,
It's a Friday night and the mood feels nice!
Pre-Chorus A
The band's on fire and the barn doors swing,
So find a hand and let that rhythm ring!
Chorus (Call 1)
Swing your partner round and round,
Two steps back, now stomp the ground!
Do-si-do, don't be shy,
Clap your hands and reach the sky!

Verse 2
Old man Joe brought his washboard grin,
The band kicked in with a hillbilly spin.
Cups on the table and pie in the air,
You just might fall in love out there!
Pre-Chorus B
Raise your voice, let your bootheels pound,
The floor's alive with that backwoods sound!
Chorus (Call 2)
Bow to your corner, bow to your girl,
Promenade in a perfect whirl!
Circle left, then back you go,
Kick up your heels and steal the show!

Bridge (Instrumental + Caller Interlude)
?? (Fiddle break + banjo roll)
"Take her hand and turn her 'round --
Right hand star then back on down!
Now swing the outside, find your square,
Shout 'yee-haw!' like you just don't care!"
________________________________________
Verse 3
The night rolls on, the whiskey's gone,
But the beat keeps marching strong.
Love might bloom where boots have spun,
When the dance is done and the song is sung.
Pre-Chorus C
One last turn 'fore the lights go dim,
Let your laughter rise and your spirits swim!
Final Chorus (Call 3)
Swing your partner, spin that girl,
Tap your boots and give her a twirl!
Do-si-do, then clap on three --
Square dance love is wild and free!

Outro (Spoken Callout with Music Fade)
"Circle in and bow real low,
Tip your hat and take it slow.
Thanks for dancin', thanks for the night --
Now y'all go home feelin' just right."
