Round Kitchen Tables

Hey there, folks! Terrific band here, with a terrific song. When I first heard these folks on the radio, I could've sworn it was a Jethro Tull song I'd forgotten about. Well, it wasn't, Emerald Rose is just that good! It comes from their album Archives of Ages to Come. --Lyrics-- I awoke one night with nature's call Out of the bedroom and into the hall Looked in the kitchen, still half asleep My gut clenched in terror, icy and deep Twenty some rats were out on the floor Four on the table, and two by the door I stared in shock while they struck up the band Formed into lines at their caller's command Chorus: Round and round, the rats they danced On tiny feet they leapt and pranced With rodent grace and vermin skill The dance of the rats -- what a thrill! They wore little hats and wee little shoes Greatcoats and dresses of green and blue They waltzed and tangoed and polkaed with glee Lost in their revels, they quite ignored me Up on the table were musicians four With soul and with skill they commanded the floor With tiny guitars and a fiddle so small It could only be played at a Rodentia ball Chorus I woke with a start, heard no music was playing Ran to my kitchen, a-gasping and praying No rats there to greet me, but amongst all the clutter Was a tiny glass slipper right next to the butter... Chorus
