Ballad of Vermillion Dances
Could I borrow just a minute of your time?
You can if you will lend a dime
Could I interest you in a game of checkers?
You can if mine are double-deckers
Could I play your little plastic violin?
You can if you'll find that switch therein
Would you let me irritate your doberman?
I will if he bites Keith Obermann
Would you let me sing for you a ballad?
I will if you'll toss me a salad
Would you be my chaperone at the cotillion?
I will if you'll wear vermillion.
Should I wear the lederhosen with the jodhpurs?
You shall if I have my druthers
Should you pirouette when you could simply glide?
I shall if you're by my side.
Should you mimic the president daily?
I shall if you'll sing Pearl Bailey.
