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
