Dan Barliman could never underestimate
Just how his feet would levitate with each and every dance
No question where he got his perfect rhythm from
His folks were dancers to the core and champions of the past

Di Salt and Pepper were their names
As Barlicorns that ever held a golden spoon as glorious as the sun
Each and every night among the gardens of the moon
They danced on air ne'er touched the ground the secrets of the sky

Hey, hey, chan dae-aye-oh-ah
Hey hey, hey nonie, hey nonie

Merry Dinglethorn had asked the gods
To be as handsome as the day is long
They say he forgot to ask for more
So there he stood as short as any stump will grow
So bashful no-one ever saw his face the story goes

Tommy Spikelman decided to befriend him
He would lift him on his shoulders when the girls would come to call

Some say that Tommy never ever spoke a word
For thinking he was small and ugly
How could he propose?

Have a day-um day
Toot-toot, hey nonie, hey nonie

So the two of them were famous for their laughter
And to me it seemed the girls enjoyed their double company
Each night around the twinkling of the starry sky
You'd see Merry and Tommy in their joyful reverie

Take take take, jebi-doba geminii
Never underestimate the power that's given to you

Ken Davido was spinning on the merry-go
Revolving 'round the secret door that enters into love
But before he stood to pass the test
Amongst the door the heaviness upon his heart
Was too hard to ignore

So he re-began to learn to dance from Barliman
Who showed him how to levitate
So high among the stars

Have a day-um day
Toot-toot, chan dae-aye-oh-ah
