MAY I HAVE THIS DANCE

I'd like to eat a mango

As I glide through a Tango

My bubbles would pop

While doin’ Hiphop

I’d soothe my soul

Swingin’ Rock and Roll

No time for slumber

While doing the Rhumba

My blood would pulse

To a Viennese Waltz

Dizzy’s how I’d feel

Skipping a Scots Reel

I’d dance Ballet

With my valet

I’d cut a rug

Doing jitterbug

I’d be happy as

Improvising Jazz

I'd like to swing a Fire Poi

In exotic far away Hanoi

I’d fly to San Francisco

To indulge in Disco

I’d as soon not talk

Sliding through a Moonwalk

I’d wear a yarmulke

While doing the Polka

I’d get the gist

Of doing the Twist

I could unwind

With a Bump and a Grind

I’d take off my wig

For a fast Irish Jig

I'd be a hot Mama

Performing the Cha cha

My heart would sing

To a Highland Fling

I’d step up the tempo

To stamp a Flamenco

I'd feel alive

Just doin’ the Jive

Now the ending’s your choice

For better or woice!

One is glad One is sad

Pick one and it’s done-

I’m off to France It’s the witching hour

For a chance to dance And I’m a wall flower.
