Last Cheaters Ball

Last Cheaters Ball

Who will dance the past with me
in penguin suit all snowy white
Music is live with old time and jive
i’m afraid we shall all look a fright

With dashing white sergeants
ladies promenading the gowns
dripping diamonds silver and gold 
Champagne flooding the tables
making gentry younger and bold

Deaf waiters smile nicely 
whispered vows are exchanged
hearts stolen while lovers are lost
This is history repeating itself
part of the dance perchance
part of the cost
