Candy the Cow
Candy was a Cow
who liked to go to dances,
and could be seen upon the floor,
attracting bullish Dances
'Cause when Candy moved to Music
played by "the Bovine Crew"
She's stamp her hooves upon the floor
and rhythimaclly moo.
She knew "the Mashed potatoe",
and also did the twist,
she did beautiful belly dancing,
which the young bulls never missed
She did classical and modern,
and from time to time, she tangoed,
or she cancaned like the French cows,
and like Spanish cows Fandagoed,
But when the "Bovine Crew"
began to play a suzy Q
there came from Candy's vocal chords,
a small excited...... Mooo
She quickly put her tap shoes on,
and smiled a little smile,
and Suzy-Qd
around the room,
with cowly grace and style.
First Candy she did time steps,
and followed them with flaps,
the rhythm of the music,
was echoed by Candy's taps.
But this Rhythm, it got faster,
until young Candy dropped,
and a deathly silence followed,
for the music also stopped.
A crowd had quickly gathered,
around Candy's prostrate shape,
till a young bull pushed his way right through,
All those who had come to gape.
"I am a vet," said he to them,
"you must all let me through,
as I'm the only one here,
who knows just what to do!"
And he pressed his lips to Candy's,
and gently gave a kiss,
Candy's eyes, they fluttered open,
as soon as he did this.
And the others at the dance,
they couldn't quite make out,
the success of what the vet had done,
What looked like "mouth to mouth".
But these days when she goes dancing,
Candy knows it to be true:
Dancing alone is not much fun,
'tis better when there's two.
And the heifers have all started,
to do their imitation,
of what is called "The Candy Drop",
the latest dance sensation
