And so she took me to a room
Of long narrow length
Then she gave me a cloak
"Put it on" she said, almost like a command
"Now dance with it"

I began to do the tango --- "No! Do the waltz"
Then she tossed me a Siberian partner

I couldn't even understand the language of his lead
But I was given no options
I dare not open my lips a crack
Just do the motions
Oh woe betide me that I try to make my speech

I was to dance this dance, on this long narrow length
Until the bell went off and I should go home.
