The brown rat tail maggot has a lovely wiggle
He is silent, not even a teeny tiny giggle
Smaller than a matchbox, or bee oh my oh me
From stagnant water drainpipe one crawls to me
We do the cha cha, this rat tail maggot and I
He gets into trash, next to stale blueberry pie
I send him to the landfill on Old Pike Road
He’ll get to devour decayed mold, ala mode
A piddling, trifling cha cha cha
Danced her petootsie off, rah rah rah
Wiggling, jiggling and a ha ha ha
We wanted to join them lah dee dah

Fancy dancy rooster with a cha cha cha
Strumped up like a prancy peacock, with a fah lah lah
Suit jacket was custom made by Dior himself, of course.
Daisies on the lapel are much too much said the horse.
The barnyard was messy with manure and stuff.
Fancy dancy rooster got splashed, stalked off in a huff.
Acts like a male peacock too, a peahen said.
The hens agreed that everything went straight to his head.
Ukulele playing armadillo asked his friend Allie to do a cha-cha-cha.
Just a second, Allie said. I don’t like to eat my munchies this raw.
Then he began practicing his marching dance for the Mardi Gras.
You don’t have to be perfect! Armadillo told him. There is no law.
I played my machine all over imperfectly in the state of Utah.
Allie liked his friend, so he began an invented cha-cha-cha.
Sang a little too, ending each verse with a uplifting fah-lah-lah
You are both so much fun! Said Allie’s appreciative great grandma.
The cats are prancing with a cha cha cha
Chick a boom a chick a boom a rah rah rah
We hire out for birthdays the little one said.
They were throwing fish in the air, many were dead.
The cats are prancing with a cha cha cha
Chick a boom a chick a boom a rah rah rah
We are cheap and available all day long, they purred.
This was terrific news for the cat ladies who acted absurd.
The cats are prancing with a cha cha cha
Chick a boom a chick a boom a rah rah rah
We’ll pay whatever we have to, one of the old crones said.
Just then two dead salmon landed on the old biddy’s head.
Blue light special
Cha Cha Cha
Come on down
Rah Rah Rah
Get those coats
Hats mittens too
Our checkers can put things on lay-a-way-for you
We are K-Mart through and through.
Blue light special
Cha Cha Cha
Come on over
Rah Rah Rah
Get those dolls and soldier boys
Here is a giant cart for all those toys
We can lay them away for Christmas, so your kids will not be blue.
K-mart is waiting here for you!

Take one step forward
and 2 steps back.
Not the best way
To cross the road.
