Going To the Ball

Going to the Ball

Step to the right, step to the left,
Going to the Ball requires Oh!
So many steps.

An escort really is required, just
To look the proper part.
An escort, too, provides an arm
When you get up to dance

He is a useful leaning post during
All those frantic steps - and can
Be used to fetch a drink when you
Sit down to rest.

Having thus convinced you of the
Escort’s special role, may I offer
You my services? 
I’d love to take the part.
