She Would Do Si Do
On her feet Myrna was so light,
Her build petite, yes, very slight.
She learned tap and she learned ballet.
She’d do-si-do, a cute sashay.
She had rehearsals day and night.
Her ma was firm, but not so bright.
Thought she’d be stuck ‘til she was gray.
Dreamed often of running away.
A handsome man with lots of height,
Fell in love with her at first sight.
Her parents banished him away.
Discouraged her to laugh and play.
She left in middle deepest night.
Saving for him her joy so bright.
They thought she could not stay away
Did not see her another day.
