Airs and Performances

In ballrooms, it's silk tuxedos
Poolside, it's velvet speedos
Fireside, it's smoke and satin
In the study, it's Greek and Latin

The first time I was free
I climbed the willow tree
As naked as a cat or kangaroo
I clammered to the sky
And asked the planets why
We're made to do this tango
Me and you

In ballrooms, we glide and twirl
Poolside, we smile at girls
Fireside, it's leaf and whiskey
In the study, we get frisky

The last time I got hammered
I roamed the streets and stammered
As naked as a donkey or a dove
Remembering when you danced for me
I swooned as if entranced by thee
A gift laid bare before me from above

In ballrooms, we masquerade
Poolside, we all parade
Fireside, we mend our spirits
Me and you
