‘Twas Mischief Night and the time was ripe
For the long-overdue rendezvous with you
Two crazy old friends contemplating romance
As a kinetic kind of pre-Halloweeny vibe grew
We played a rhapsodic serenade
Strolling with flair, like a professional Parisian pair
And my heart turned somersaults
When I played a waltz
With you (spoken: 1,2,3; 1,2,3)
‘Twas Mischief Night and the feeling was right
Yes, it hung like a dirigible in the air
So we occupied the loveseat outside
High from dizzyin’ heights, pondering an affair
We played a nostalgic serenade
Too looped to care that all the legends of bebop were there
But my heart turned somersaults
When I played a waltz
With you (spoken: play with me baby!)
‘Twas Mischief Night, when vampires bite
We declined, then reclined in your cozy crib
Some minutes went by ‘til we intertwined
In a steamy debut, a new polyrhythmic adlib
We made an ecstatic serenade
Breaking new ground, until you suddenly had to leave town
I played ‘midst the Halloween parade
Singin’ your tunes for the staggering zombies and goons
I wait, as I do in all my tunes
Wond’rin’ if you will reprise or pursue our sweet rendezvous
‘Cause my heart turned somersaults
when I played a waltz
With you
(spoken: Trick or treat!)
