 +====== Dance Like It Matters ======
 +
 +by Jeff Bigler (2012)
 +
 +//Dance like it matters
 +And dance like you care
 +Make the tune come alve
 +As you float through the air
 +With each shake of your bells
 +And each clash, adding flair
 +Bring the Morris to life when you dance//
 +
 +The dancers arrive and start milling about
 +And they stand in the front keeping spectators out
 +"From the village of Somethington..." One of them shouts
 +But the Morris is much more than this...
 +
 +//[Chorus]//
 +
 +As each side struts their stuff with a fancy new dance
 +Full of leaping and tossing and shouts to enhance
 +Other teams socialize and give scarcely a glance
 +But the Morris is much more than this...
 +
 +//[Chorus]//
 +
 +And the audience doesn't know what they've just seen
 +Where the dances all come from and what they might mean
 +Or the copious "in" jokes, some clean, some obscene
 +But the Morris is much more than this...
 +
 +//[Chorus]//
 +
 +Then they go to a pub for a pint and a song
 +And they sing it off key and get half the words wrong
 +With the same tired hacks that just don't quite belong
 +But the Morris is much more than this...
 +
 +//[Chorus]//
