Plucked out from between the blooms And blown to tell the hour Each seed that flees the summer breeze Was born to make a flower Amongst them, flirting roguishly Each gust which he might flee on There deftly danced a propagule By the name of Dandy Leon He saw his chance and seized it firm With filaments of fuzz And spun upon an eddy Like a balerina does It lifted him above the street And clear of all his kin He caught a cheeky quick-step But the air was growing thin So he threw a saucy limbo And he dived over the town He conga'd with a butterfly And fluttered ever down But as in every ballroom When there's no more will to rhumba The weather took a breather And it blew a slower number So Leon drifted dreamily A waltz of heavy eyes And landed with finality Beneath the sunny skies For today he was a dancer And he flew above the land But tomorrow he'd be growing And next spring he'd be the band

The Dance of Dandy Leon
Plucked out from between the blooms And blown to tell the hour Each seed that flees the summer breeze Was born to make a flower Amongst them, flirting roguishly Each gust which he might flee on There deftly danced a propagule By the name of Dandy Leon He saw his chance and seized it firm With filaments of fuzz And spun upon an eddy Like a balerina does It lifted him above the street And clear of all his kin He caught a cheeky quick-step But the air was growing thin So he threw a saucy limbo And he dived over the town He conga'd with a butterfly And fluttered ever down But as in every ballroom When there's no more will to rhumba The weather took a breather And it blew a slower number So Leon drifted dreamily A waltz of heavy eyes And landed with finality Beneath the sunny skies For today he was a dancer And he flew above the land But tomorrow he'd be growing And next spring he'd be the band
