AND THE MUSIC KEPT PLAYING....

In a musical at Carnegie Hall, in the leading role,

playing a wicked cello that was black and gold,

was a witchly kind of woman whose music was intense.

She was playing for a girl named Dorothy in the audience.

Monkey-like men guarding exits seemed quite detached,

while this bewitching woman made music that she scratched

out, with her long nails, she began creating a hypnotic tune.

It all seemed at first like a normal afternoon.

But...then the cello broke strings, began to scream and whine,

while blood-tingling music paralyzed your spine.

This wicked music echoed in the hall and went on and on

while Dorothy was forced to listen even after the music was gone.
