Venus


The girl with red eyes 
In her orange dress 
Arms crosswise 
Dances like a dervish 
Her skirt's going up and down 
Rabbits are jumping from her dress 
Leaping about on the floor 
Like from a wizard's hat 

Welcome to the modern dance hall 

The Orchestra man 
Counts elephants and frogs 
Marching from her skirt 
He's banging the bell 
Butterflies take off 
Invading all the ball room 
The girl with red eyes 
In her orange dress 
Arms crosswise 
Dances like a dervish 

Tables and chairs 
Keep spinning around her 
Whales, deers and crocodiles 
Inundate the place 
The animal crowd crawls 
Clinging to the fairy lights 
Nibbling and eating the walls 
Tearing at the night
