[This recitation is intended to be given with an accompaniment of waltz / music, introducing dance-steps at the refrain "With one, two, three," / etc.]
A giddy young maiden with nimble feet, / Heigh-ho! alack and alas! / Declared she would far rather dance than eat, / And the truth of it came to pass. / For she danced all day and she danced all night; / She danced till the green earth faded white; / She danced ten partners out of breath; / She danced the eleventh one quite to death; / And still she redowaed up and down -- / The giddiest girl in town.
