Marguerite's Last Tango

Marguerite is dead, Hey!
Slipped and fell on her head, Hey!
Though near eighty-four,
She traipsed 'cross the floor.
Now she's all done and said, Hey!

Marguerite knew the song, Ho!
She danced until dawn, Ho!
But on the way back,
Ice on the track
And she's suddenly gone, Ho!

Marguerite, bye-de-bye, Hi!
Are you lookin' down from the sky, Hi?
Can't you see that it's me
Down here on my knee
Askin' why-hi...
   Are you lookin' down from the sky?
      I just wanna know why...Marguerite? 
          Marguerite, bye-de-bye.

Could have been worse if she had tangoed with the train instead of the track! Aloha!
