We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels ‘cross the floor

I was feeling kinda seasick but the crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away

When we called out for another drink the waiter brought a tray

One of sixteen vestal virgins who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open they might have well’ve been closed
