Five O’clock 500   (Alabama) - STING 22004   (Mike Davey)

 

 (Opener, Middle Break & Closer):

FOUR LADIES PROMENADE go inside - get back and SWING there with your man

Join your hands  CIRCLE to the LEFT - go walking ‘round the ring and then

ALLEMANDE LEFT - and WEAVE THE RING   

It's that five o'clock 500 - and I run it every day

SWING that Lady ‘round PROMENADE I say

Oh, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way

It's that five o'clock 500 - every day

 

 

 (Figure):

HEAD LADIES CHAIN - go straight across that ring - HEADS PROMENADE HALFWAY ‘round the ring and then

HEADS LEAD to the RIGHT - VEER to the LEFT and then - you CHAIN DOWN THE LINE and turn that Girl

PASS THE OCEAN - SWING THRU and do it TWICE - SWING the Corner Girl and then you PROMENADE

Oh, the boss just dropped the green - we're on our way

It's that five o'clock 500 - every day

 

 

(Tag): SWING - five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500 every day

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Just punched the clock and boy, am I ready?
Walkin' out the door headin' home
It's time to buckle up again in my rolling hunk of tin
It's quittin' time the evenin' race is on

 

It's that five o'clock 500 and I run it every day
Pick-up trucks, cars and buses all in my way
We've got Darrel, we've got Dale, Richard, Mark, Rusty and Jeff
Oh, the boss just dropped the green we're on our way

It's that five o'clock 500 every day

 

Oh, Bubba's runnin' right on my bumper
Pushin' me but there's nowhere to go
Lane changin' left and right, blowin' horns and blinkin' lights

Oh, the fast lane has never been so slow

 

Well, the caution is out we're at a stand still
Heard there's construction up ahead
Won't be long so they say, soon we'll all be on our way
Some trucker on the CB just said

 

It's that five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500, five o'clock 500 every day

Every day, every day, every day
