And the salamander danced with the secretary bird

While the white cat kept the tune

And beyond the gold-lit dance hall

Hung the white orb of the moon

In the corner the fox sat all on his lone

And wove his web of lies

Never believe what the sly fox tells you

The amusement is just a slim disguise

And the dragon away in his stone cave

Hears music nevermore

Until the days of old return

And he emerges from the lore

The loyal hound missed all the fun

While the animals danced and played

Staying close by at his master's side

Through the weary nights and days

The tiger watched with lazy eyes

And an expression of disdain

Too noble by far to demean himself

With the others' foolish games

The bats and the squirrels up in the eves

Conversed on a number of things

Such as how life was up in the trees

And what it felt like to have wings

The salamander danced with the secretary bird

While the white cat kept the tune

While the mammals, birds, and reptiles all

Danced by the light of the moon
