and invite everybody who plays nice
to the big dance...
and if ya don’t dance
let the other folks take a step
around the floor
ya’all can tap your toes
we won’t tell anyone
ya had a good time.
smilie
slip in a sitar tune
in between little guitar riff
some jazz and some swing
heck fire a line dance
a waltz and that hip hop stuff
and see old guys wearing tuxedos
act like they can free style
kid dance so their children
can be embarrassed
just like those wedding videos...
(and maybe see who we can sucker
into doing the g-dawful ‘chicken dance’)
kofi and the clear tones
can boogie the night away
here at The U.N.
Just Be Nice Tonight Ball.
it ain’t that hard
pass out silly party hats
cowboy hats and turbans
are allowed, yamakahs
and those priestly beanies
can come too...
ya got feathers
we don’t care
here at The U.N.
Just Be Nice Tonight Ball
sit back and relax
sip the party punch
knock back an “adult beverage”
or stuff the kids can have.
just one night for starters
everybody can recognize each other
make small talk about the children
and the grandkids
the family pets and where the best place
for a vacation is...
and boogie the night away
to kofi and the clear tones
here at The U.N.
Just Be Nice Tonight Ball
