So that not to spoil the party We are drifting in our dance Our smiles are not so hearty Our longing — not intense In the midst of other dancers We have stuck to our parts In a play that's got no answers Only sadness to the hearts All around us gold and tinsel And all the rest are waltzing gladly Why the host has never told us — In the end it hurts so badly With the movements of a mantis We will freeze in our bluff In the heart, however faintest, There's the faith in our love That the bliss is not unlikely You have only to be true A dishaertened ugly duckling I am saddened over you
