them to each other was a keen

Breaking in...

St Peter looks at us and states

There is no way you’re coming in
I’ll send you to that other place
Which isn’t any real...

I think of all the words that once flowed so freely,
and where there were no words to fit, 
you simply made them up....

An outlaw, a felon, a choreographed thief, 
Stealing the moves like a crim,
Seizing the twirls with a straightened top hat, 
Tap dancing around on a whim,

Gliding a smile with shining eyebrows, 
Hands tip top tapping...

Pasadena Big Band, On With The Dance

Nostalgic swing, singing the blues
So put on your dancing shoes
Get out of your chair
Dance like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire

Imagining we are stars in a speakeasy movie
Dancing the Charleston,...
