Charlatans and Chameleons Prance and Dance

Charlatans and chameleons prancing in a country western dancing line
If Charlatans had stayed in place, all would have been quite fine
Charls are used to being devious, so they did underhanded things
Chameleons acted miffed and mad as the Charls began their swings.

Willie Nelson was singing in that crazy, wonderful offbeat way of his.
Charls were spreading rumors that were silly and caused a lot of fizz.
The chameleons were all angry now, and a riot started up in the bar.
No charlatans or chameleons are going to become a Broadway star.

Probably not, Caren. Probably not. Always leave it to someone to mess up a good thing! And "spreading rumors" will do it every time.

Spreading rumors is so ridiculously silly. It always backfires!
