Ballroom Lyrics

Venus Ballroom

The girl with red eyes
In her orange dress
Arms crosswise
Dances like a dervish
Her skirt's going up and down
Rabbits are jumping from her dress
Leaping about on the floor
Like from a wizard's hat

Welcome to the modern dance hall

The Orchestra man
Counts elephants and frogs
Marching from her skirt
He's banging the bell
Butterflies take off
Invading all the ball room
The girl with red eyes
In her orange dress
Arms crosswise
Dances like a dervish

Tables and chairs
Keep spinning around her
Whales, deers and crocodiles
Inundate the place
The animal crowd crawls
Clinging to the fairy lights
Nibbling and eating the walls
Tearing at the night

Tables and chairs
Keep spinning around her
Whales, deers and crocodiles
Inundate the place
The animal crowd crawls
Clinging to the fairy lights
Nibbling and eating the walls
Tearing at the night
