L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore can

yes but is it virtual vagina, or merely one more  vantage on the  
dance of the seven veils? Actually I understand that that is a mis- 
translation and should be, according to the original German, who I  
've never actually met, the dance of the seven voles. This  dance is,  
and hear we enter the realm  of hearsay, a lot like the hoky poky,  
only different.  The Neo-Huns beg to differ, interpreting the divine  
shimmy as the drive of the seven Volkswagon Vans.  At this point the  
academic research thins  and only the p-listers dare to venture. VVVVVVV

Heaven
I'm in heaven
And my heart beats
So that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find
The happiness I seek
When we're out together
Dancing cheek to cheek
