The Dancers

Dance for thy masters!

Dancing, dancing, merrily
A laugh, a swoon, a melody
Oh what a delight! There can be no doubt
Dancing long after the lights go out

Dancing, dancing, faster, faster
A trip, a fall, a great disaster
An ankle broken, an elbow popped
But the dancing, it must never stop

Dancing, dancing, faster still
Another tumble, another spill
The King and the Queen, they laugh and they cheer!
As the dancers keep dancing, dancing in fear

Dancing, dancing, no end in sight
As the dancers they dance, into the night
The smiles long gone, the floor it is red
As the dancers they dance, and trample their dead

Dancing, dancing, the dancing has stopped
As the last dancer dancing, has finally dropped
This dance of life, this dance of death
Is over at last with one final breath

Dancing, dancing, the dancing was great
As the King and the Queen they finish their plates
And the King then stands, and proclaims with a roar
Dancers, oh dancers! Send in some more!
