Skull Dancing
"Twas midnight in the moonlight
When the skulls began their dancing,
Doing Mambos, Tangos, Waltzes
And some eye-to-eye romancing.
They tried pirouettes and pliƩs,
Arabesques and battement
Rising up above the tombstones
Trying dance steps lentement.
They danced the Twist and Bunny Hop,
The Frug and the Watusi,
The Hully Gully and the Swim,
Until their joints got loose-y.
They ended with some Moonwalking
And danced the Ham and Eggs
But then they stopped because it would
Be easier with legs.
Dance here for skulls.
