The words are matched to the lyrics of the song, delivered in a singing style. In this case, it's all one sequence for the whole song.
Ideally, a singing call should be broken up into smaller sequences, so the dancers know that they've danced correctly, and can start over if necessary. If this song used standard-length singing call figures, the dancers would be promenading home during the refrain, with the lyrics "You're my dream come true, my one and only you" -- but the word-play needs to replace that section of lyrics with choreography ("You're the one that I take to a funny good show twice" or "You're the one that I take for a stroll down the lane"), so the sequences can't end there.
In retrospect, I think it would have been better to resolve at least 4 times, even if some of the sequences have to be twice the normal length. I think it's overly challenging, even for most C-4 dancers, if it continues at dancing speed without any time for hesitations or mistakes.
