The dancer, Miss Isadora Duncan,
Decided convention was bunkum.
She refused ballet classes
And studied Greek vases,
And set up her schools to debunk ‘em.
The American dancer, St.Denis,
Was viewed as a dangerous menace.
The Muse that she had
Was a cigarette ad,
But her fame spread from L.A. to Venice.
Loie Fuller had skirts most voluminous,
Using silks that were pretty and numerous.
Her ‘Serpentine Dance’
Was the rage across France,
And she patented how to be numinous.

Finished by me
A hefty young dancer named Jimmy
Decided to learn how to shimmy
When his girth got to rocking
His knees started knocking
And the audience thought 'What a ninny!'

An eccentric old Laird of the Glen
Taught Raqs Sharki to all of his men.
They formed a dance clan,
And professed, to a man,
That they’d never drink whisky again.
The Laird gave each man a half crown,
And sent them to dance through the town.
And their Temperance spiel,
With an Eastern dance reel,
In the streets they performed up and down.
As they shimmied to swift Tsiftetellis
They entered the pub "Tartan Wellies".
With the beat of Maqsoom
They tee-totaled the room
And proceeded to shake the beer-bellies.
Then they left and decided to knock
At each house, where their hips they did rock.
And the children and men,
Babes-in-arms and women,
Joined in with each roll, pop and lock.
And once the whole town's population
Knew the joys of chest-hip isolation,
They petitioned the King
With the sweetest Taqsim,
And were granted a Royal Undulation!
Now dance spread throughout all the land
And they cameled and snaked hand-in-hand
But they just could not keep
Away from peat-reek.
Without it their parties felt bland.
So the Temperance Law did not last.
But how to dance with decanter and glass?
They soon learnt how to tie
A small bottle to the thigh,
And hey presto! - the whisky hip flask!
