Mama's Dance

                              Mama's Dance


  Went to a dance last Saturday night
  looked across the room and saw a terrible sight
  There was mama dressed up to the nines
  dancing with a man who was older than time
  They were twirling and swirling round and round
  when all of a sudden they both fell down
  Mama's hat flew north and her dress went south
  everyone stopped and opened their mouth
  The old man's shoe flew off and hit the wall
  his pants came down, but that's not all
  The music stopped, the crowd gathered round
  they both lay there together upon the ground
  In disbelief I stared and stood frozen by the door
  Mama's voice rang out from across the floor
  "You silly old fool, can't you take no for an answer,
    I told you I'm not a stripper, I'm a dancer.'
