Amulet

 It was all such a swirl

Of boys and girls

And people and thinking

And blood

It was all I could do

To dance in my shoe and

Try not to slip in the mud

But the music were great

Oh the band they were late

Late on the beat to arrive

But

I liked the rhythm

And the beats they were swinging

And the Jazz it flowed into the night


But she was a sleeper

Because of that a keeper

I know

I'd love her to be mine

But she's a big weeper

I mean my eyes not she

Per every salted wounded 

slug on the line


I'm a great loser

In love I'm a bruiser

I come up black and blue 

All the time

But at least when I dance

I have half a chance of

Having fun

While I'm in my prime
