I wish I was born in that era: dancing with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, going to work at the studio dressed in beautiful pants, head scarves, and sunglasses.

Fred Astaire
Romance me...dance me
til I dont care
You havent lived until youve danced on air
Whisper nothings if you dare
Wont you please, be my fred astaire
(jam):
Everybody up...everybody up
Everybody up on the dance floor now
Everybody up...everybody up
Everybody up on the dance floor now
I know they call you mr. lonely heart
But youre the leading man to play the part
You dont have to be a millionaire
All you have to do is be my fred astaire
(chorus):
Get up now...get up now
Get up now...be my fred astaire (x2)
(jam):
When you move its like a melody
Serenading...the very heart of me
Ill be your ginger rogers on the floor
Swirl me. twirl me til I just cant
Take no more
(chorus):
Boy if you could only read my mind
Youve been in my dreams a thousand time
(jam):
(chorus jam):
Everybody up
(get up now)
Everybody up
(get up now)
Everybody up
(be my fred astaire).

0278 Scenario
This disgusting August day
so hot and sticky that the sweat can't sweat,
your collar and cuffs a wet grey grime,
the sunlight graceless through the concrete cliffs,
the shade no shade but fetid oven,
the street signs almost too tired to communicate
and faces too tired to be human,
in a squalid room up there
best left undescribed
and a lifestyle defined by its trash can,
some young guy
is putting words together
which on a day like this but
a few years the other side of despair
and an uncaring world
will make you loosen your tie
with a jaunty Sinatra hand,
tip your hat back on your head, execute
a Gene Kelly sidestep on a dancing sidewalk,
swivel your hips like Fred Astaire,
turn and smile and grab her close,
step out step in step,
Broadway wrote it just for you.
life couldn't be better, here and now,
you're part of it, it's part of you,
it's all in the music.

Decadence Dance
francis!
Francis! be careful!
Trying so hard to keep up with the joneses
Running a rat racing won by our noses
Always put one foot in front of the other
And dance to the beat of the dacadent drummer
Just buy a brand new pair of fred astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
Its the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance
Its hard to stop once the music gets started
til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
Stepping in line with the sign of the timer
Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer
Just buy a brand new pair of fred astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
Its the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance

Dancing In Flowers At A Lover’s Fair
ever since all Ken's dancing on ship cruises
every time you mention dancing I have visions
of legendary Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers
I see them dance floral scenes among flowers
Inspired by the poem ‘***Dancing in Flowers*** by Ken e Hall.

I have no desire to prove anything by dancing. I have never used it as an outlet or a means of expressing myself. I just dance. I just put my feet in the air and move them around.
