Tami Peterson
(to the tune of “My Favorite Things”)
Rhinestones and fishnets and bright colored sequins
Mambo and ChaCha and steps all in sequence
Canes and fedoras and fringe on our pants
These are the things that make SilverBelles Dance
Practice and practice until it is perfect
Lock step and rock step and move with a purpose
High steps and pivots
We twist and we turn
Working our muscles until they all burn
When the cane drops
Or we misstep
And we take our bow
We simply remember we’re not 25
And so we embrace the now
Black shoes and tan shoes
Short skirts with ruffles
Makeup and lipstick
we go to great trouble
Gold hats and red hats
And silver ones too
Headbands with feathers
To name just a few
Music and memories
Evoke so much passion
Dressed in our finest
A statement of fashion
Top hats and bow ties
And glitz all around
Dancing is surely the love we have found
When the cane drops
Or we misstep
When we take our bow
We simply remember we’re not 25
And so we embrace the now
