The Band

There once was a man who played in a band and he played the music so fast

When people’d get near it and when they would hear it they’d move their bodies and dance

The dance floor would pack, hard shoes ‘clickety clack’ and the floor finally splintered and cracked

The owner came out and started to shout, lined up the dancers and shot them in the back

Some called him mad, some called him righteous, some didn’t know what to call it

But after it all settled down, the band and the owner came down and from the bodies they took all the wallets

This story is old and seldom gets told and I guess what good is retracing? But owner and the band had always had the plan because the dance floor it needed replacing
