A Fragile Piece of Glass

A Fragile Piece of Glass

A fragile piece of glass

Gliding across the dance floor

I’ve never seen so many smooth

Heel to toe

A straight defiance as a red flag to an angry bull

Slick Paso Diablo

You have some great moves

John Travolta takes on the samba

In a white suit

Taking out the disco multicoloured lights

New York’s 70’s groove

Bonnie and Clyde stealing money

The darling honeys

Hip to toe

Jiving through the towns and county roads

Quick step, quick, quick step

Fred Astaire and Judy Garland take up the dance

Movie romance

Down the twisting yellow brick road

Wind, hale and snow

Heel to toe

A rainbow

Norman Wisdom and Charlie Chaplin

Playing around

Doing the Charleston back flips

Swinging their hips

More innovative tricks

Harold Lloyd holds on just by his fingertips

All movie star’s leads

Go weak at the knees

They would love to taste Marilyn Monroe’s

Juicy red cherry lips

Tango is so wonderfully, deliciously sweet

Blackpool is the Mecca for those dancing feet

A magnificent feat

Twist and a leap

Ballroom championships

Silver Trophies

Body, hips, frame and neat feet

Gliding across the spot light dance floor

I just saw a fragile piece of glass

She knows how to dance

She was the fragile glass moving figure

I once held in my hands

In the fantasy land of movies and dance

A fragile piece of glass

A fleeting romance

A magnitude of colour and a black and white film

Watched so many thousands of times worn and scratched

A fragile piece of glass
