Dance Partners

Dance Partners.

A fox asked the flamingo up for a dance, but the bird
was coy and refused. A gray legged wolf promised to
to stand guard should the fox get frisky.

A match made in heaven, fox and flamingo swooned
and forgot their enmity. That’s when the wolf saw its
chance and mortally interrupted their tango.

How foolish the unlikely pair had been, thinking
nature could be bypassed, even for a brief moment,
in the name of passion and romance.

So I Dance

Well I met you while we were sharing stares
from motorcars
And from there it was like a dream just coming true
The you asked if I like to dance and I said
"Not at all"
So you turned away to start the search for
someone new
Then an acetate Casanova sweeps you off your feet
Cause he dances like Michael J. meets Fred Astaire
And I desperately ask for one more chance
to be with you
And you smile at me while thinking "Yeah it's only fair"
So I dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I dance
Well you live your whole life believing silly
fairytales
Like the King of Heart's coming down to marry you
But reality's coming fast and you feel all alone
So I hope you'll let me be the one to get you thru
So I dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I Dance
Solo
So I dance - Dance - Dance
Well you're going out ballroom dancing
almost every night
While he's blinding you with his moves
and not a word
Then you say that if I could tango
you would have it all
So I "twist" with you and pray
I don't look too absurd
So I dance - Dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I dance
Dance with you
From now until you say you love me
Take a chance
Take a chance
That you'll only be thinking of me
So I dance oooh
So I dance
So I dance oooh
So I dance

A Dance Made For 2

A Dance Made For 2:

I walk over to this lady,
I've had my eyes on her for awhile now,
And asked her...

'This dance was made for 2,
So, would you be my partner?
I don't want just anyone,
But you,
And only you.'

'This dance,
Is only for 2,
Would you join me in this Tango?
For it is you who I only want tonight,
And possible forever, as well.'

'I've noticed you ever since you came through that door,
And only you,
And now,
I want to dance this dance,
With you,
And only you,
For it was made for 2,
So will you?
Dance this dance with me,
Since it calls for only 2? '

She extended her hand out to me,
I tock it greatly,
And then..
We started to dance the dance that was made for 2 :) ...

Pretty Flamingo

On our block all of the guys call her flamingo
Cause her hair glows like the sun
And her eyes can light the skies
When she walks she moves so fine like a flamingo
Crimson dress that clings so tight
She's out of reach and out of sight
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
Pretty flamingo pretty flamingo
When she walks by she brightens up the neighborhood
Oh every guy would make her his if he just could
If she just would
Some sweet day I'll make her mine pretty flamingo
Then every guy will envy me
Cause paradise is where I'll be
(repeating "sha la la la la la la la pretty flamingo")

Shall We Dance

Shall we dance?
He tentatively asked
Love at first glance…

Shall we dance?
I would love to
She was waiting to be asked…

Shall we dance?
If that’s what you want…
Forget I asked…

Shall we dance?
Please give me space,
Contempt on face.

Shall we dance?
Go to our favourite haunt,
What do you want?

Shall we dance?
To rekindle romance,
She looks askance…

Shall we dance?
He gathered her in his arms
To recapture what once was…

Shall we dance?
He tentatively asked,
Stirring the dying embers in the fireplace…

Change Partners

Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began.
Wont you change partners and dance with me?
Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face?
Cant you see
Im longing to be in his place?
Wont you change partners and dance with me?
Ask him to sit this one out.
While youre alone,
Ill tell the waiter to tell
Him hes wanted on the telephone.
Youve been locked in his arms ever since heaven-knows-when.
Wont you change partners and then,
You may never want to change partners again.

A Flaminingo Should be More than Pink

A flamingo should be
More than just pink
Don’t you think?

It’s a nice color
But they could come
in others-
Oh it would be sweet

not just pink
perhaps blue
Green or red
Some plaid too

Maybe
Polka dot too
would be ever so nice
so boring it is
at a gala you see

to come dressed
in the same
again and again

So I’d like to propose
To someone who knows
That a flamingo
Can change
their color at will

for a flamingo should be more than just pink

Please let me dance

Look at you there watching me
Let me be asked if I might take this chance
Please let me dance

I stolen this time do be here you know
I meant to be working and yeah I am wearing a dress
Please let me dance

You know that you want to
You are just too shy to ask me
Please let me dance

You not asked me so I ask you
Can I take this dance?
We have danced

Still I had to ask
The last dance you came to me and you asked
Will you dance with me?

Flamingo Baby

Youre a flamingo
You stand on one leg
Youre a flamingo baby
You hatched from an egg
Well you hold your foot up
So delicately over the sea
And when it comes down
It comes down on me
Well it used to want to hump you
I used to want to rock and roll
I was attracted to your gracefulness
But your surprise sure took its toll
Now I guess Id better go out now
Gonna try to find something new
And all Im left with is this craving
For some flamingo stew
Now the beautys in the gutter
The loveliness is off her throne
In the eyes of the beholder its gone
And now he feels kind of alone
But this feeling its the kind that will shortly pass
Im gonna find myself another bird
And roll on down the grass

Randolphs Tango

The senorita took off her bobby socks
She said shes gonna wear a skirt that shocks
Shes pulling out all the stops
To get her randolph back again
Meanwhile randolph, hes back at the ranch
Hes getting ready for tonights song and dance
Hes doesnt know he doesnt stand a chance
His last affair will be his last romance
The senorita will be there waiting
Dont go my randolph slow tango with me
Underneath the latin moonlight
The danced and seen a falling star in flight
To the strum of guitars she held him tight
She wants her randolph back again
Meanwhile its worthwhile for randolph to wait
till he gets the nerve then he wont hesitate
He doesnt know but hes just bit the bait
He just asked if he could make a date
The senorita will be there waiting
Dont go my randolph slow tango with me
The senoritas heart is in love
She wearing white tonight, looks as pure as a dove
Shes thanking God and all the heavenly stars above
Randolphs romance is back again
Meanwhile randolph smiles and says hell give her ten
She doesnt come so he just counts again
And hes been there since he does not know when
Hes thinks shes stood him up but in the end
The senorita wont keep him waiting
Dont go my randolph slow tango with me
Ooh la-la...
Senorita dance cheek to cheek
Ooh la-la...
We will dance off into the sky

Last Dance

(wally bryson)
Wont you let me get to know you?
Given the time I could show you
How good it feels to be in love
Nice to have someone thinking of you
If I had the chance with you
Id ask for the last dance with you
Wed dance away into the night
Know that you shouldnt be sharing
All of those nights with your mother
Staring at you staring at her
Thinking of places you wish you were
If I had the chance with you
Id ask for the last dance with you
Wed dance away into the night
Couldnt you give me a chance for a while?
Given the time I know I could make you smile
And once you let me get to know you
And give me the time and I show you
How good it feels to be in love
At night youll have someone thinking of you
If I had the chance with you
Id ask for the last dance with you
Wed dance away into the night
When I get my chance with you
Ill make enough romance for two
Well dance away into the night

Tango In Argentina

Tango in Argentina
It was eons ago, in Buenos Aires, many of us around a table at a cafe
I can’t remember why I was there think it was something to do with
buying race horses. A woman asked me up to dance I first declined,
shyness is my bane, after prodding I trotted up on the dance floor.
The band played a tango, not that I hadn’t dance before, mother was
a dance teacher, something happened, I forgot about my timidity
just danced floating on a cloud of pleasure. We’re alone on the floor,
when the music stopped, applause. Back at our table dad gave me
a glass of wine, the dream continued. I wanted to marry Dona Juanita,
my dancing partner; dad said no, she was married and too old for me.
But I have never since been able to emulate the magic of the moment
When I see a colt galloping across the pampas I know of the physical
pleasure it feels, once it was me feeling exuberant and timeless in
a world of everlasting youth.

Lone Wolf

I am a lone wolf
I always was and will be
I feel fine, I am resigned to this
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
Got my cares
Wrapped up all nice and neat
In my suitcase
Ill take it down the street
To a place with plenty of space for me
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
It blows my mind
That people wanna try to get inside my tired head
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
I am a lone wolf
Nobody needs to get too close to me
Youll only see this truth
I am a lone wolf

Let’s do the Rodeo dance

Let’s do the Rodeo dance
Take my hand in guidance
Dance to the left
Dance to the right
Stand firmly on your roots
Shake those big leather brown boots
Has anyone told you, you look cute?

Let’s do the Rodeo dance
It's time for the performance
Dance to the left
Dance to the right
Swivel those hips
Shake those legs
To the dance of substance

Enhance this dance
With some rodeo romance
Dance and romance
Go together in abundance
Yes! Dance and romance
Shall we indulge this instance?

Fat Dogs Wear Well Fed Collars

the wolf cannot wear your collar
the wolf cannot eat your slave bread
the wolf feels a free wind on free face
the wolf hears all sounds freedom fed
the wolf must hunt for its piece of meat
the wolf hunts mountains where free rivers meet
the wolf will starve to death as lean winter creeps
the wolf paints landscapes scenes as death inward seeps
the wolf licks not the beast man’s hand wolf never weeps

Let’s Dance

Let me take you by the hand
And lead you to the dance floor
Once more
Let’s embrace to the rhythm
Sway to the melody
And let the music set us free
Set us free
Let me take you by the hand
And spin you round and round
Let’s get lost in the mystery of the sound
So let’s dance
If we ever get the chance
Let’s dance
Whatever the circumstance
Let’s dance
It’s the formula for romance
Let’s dance
So take my hand and get up on your feet
Wrap your arms around me and feel the heat
Our hearts are pounding to the loud drum beat
Let’s make this night of love complete
So let’s dance
If we ever get the chance
Let’s dance
Whatever the circumstance
Let’s dance
It’s the formula to romance
Let’s dance

Horse Play

Four gallant horses
galloped forth.

One was white, one was black,
one was red, one was brown.

One had four legs,
one had three,
one had two,
and the fourth had one leg.

The one-legged horse
said to the others :
the time for dance has come,
sweet friends,
let's dance on a single hoof !

All of them liked the idea,
and the dance began.
The four-legged horse fainted outright,
the three-legged horse slipped and fell,
the two-legged horse limped to a fall :
only the one-legged one
danced on and on.

Banished Wolf

Banished wolf chased off from her home
Banished wolf left with no place to roam
Banished wolf lies in the cold rain
Banished wolf tries to ease her pain
Banished wolf begins to cry
Banished wolf wants to die
Banished wolf tries to stop her tears
Banished wolf drowns in her fears
Banished wolf felt her world grow black
As her lover cried death just before the attack
Banished wolf licks her wounds
While her whole world is falling to ruins
Banished wolf cleans her cut
And as she does so her pain ease somewhat
Banished wolf wears her scars
Through a life full of years instead of hours
Banished wolf let the past be the past
Banished wolf left the gloom that it cast
Banished wolf lives her life today
And she would not have it anyother way

Must you dance every dance with the same fortunate man?
You have danced with him since the music began.
Won't you change partners and dance with me?
Must you dance quite so close with your lips touching his face?
Can't you see
I'm longing to be in his place?
Won't you change partners and dance with me?

Ask him to sit this one out.
While you're alone
