The Parisian Fire Dance

"The Weekend Starts"

Said Dr Farn

For the carnival to begin



"Lets join the toffs"

"And the other lot"

Then hence was born the regime



With all the madams

They danced in tandom

Ando so the dance begins



Umbrellas Sail

And footsteps hail

The parisian dance steps in



"Lets do Van Tango"

Said Mr Sango

"Get the servants more gin"



"But what of our clothes"

Said Mrs Rose

"It's quite precious Linen"



"Your garments are safe"

Said General Renét

And with that the women gave in



She danced the steps

And swung her legs

Knowing the general would win



The dance went on

Now the furs had gone

But not much more was to bring



For the band was closing

No longer posing

And getting forever dim



"Let's give a hand"

"To the head of the band"

Said the gracious Mr Binns



They picked up their clothes

And rightly so

The parisian dance gave in
