  RICHARD IS STILL DANCIN'
By Danny O'Connell
 

The night comes and all is music
It's the girls night out
And out they come in droves for fun

Little do they know, that tonight
**********the music will end
Not just for a little while
But for all their tomorrows

There is a boy there though,
**********his name is Richard
For him the music lives
At least just for a bit

The others fade like the sounds and lights
But that Richard
He keeps up the fight

In wonderment the kings and queens
**********are astonished by his dancin' feet
Except, of course, for the biggest queen
Well she's not surprised at all

Dancin's been keeping her
**********from the great fall

It's been so many year's ago
That the music was turned down so low
And Richard knows
**********that the music will soon go

But til then everyone will know
That Richard is still dancin'
And on and on he'll go!
