Tuesday Night at Emile's: sometimes it’s dancing - old fashioned tap

Frank Prem

start your feet moving

 

tap-eta-tap-eta-tap

 

set your arms in motion
make it light speed and dazzle

 

tap-eta-tap-tapping

 

[CLAP]

 

shuffle around the issue
don’t break the rhythm
backwards is a special

 

[CLAP]

 

start another pattern
ratchet up to blinding
never stop smiling

 

[CLAP]

 

shimmy like the devil
hold eye contact
keep on dancing

 

[CLAP]

 

use the light to sparkle

 

[CLAP]

 

slip behind the smokescreen

 

[CLap]

 

don’t forget your roses

 

[clap]

 

keep on dancing

 

tap-eta-tap-eta

 

tap

    May the dance linger on in time to your words.

      You really caught the essence of tap dancing with your poem, Frank. Never could do it myself, but love watching it. Well written, but that is something we have come to expect from you!

        Not a dancer, myself, either Fred. Smoke and mirrors, however ...
