If I could only dance like Zorba
And drink Oozo all the day
And sing many songs like Zorba
his dulcet tones woos the ladies
So happy in every way
Learn to speak his language of love
Whilst on a Greek Isle we all play
Arm in arm we kick up our boots
Deep into the night we yell and hoot
In a cafe by the bay
What is his secret and how does he do it
All that energy display
Dance and sing and love he brings
How does he stay that way
Suddenly I know the answer
So gather round my lady friends
Lets dance and sing and make amends
To that cafe by the bay
Oozo for all till we all fall
Names Zorba by the way

Very clever! Love that dance
Love the imagery you penned in this also. Well done indeed, just a little more than the word requirement though. However some clappies because I enjoyed reading

Excellent
A very fine write, my friend. Imagery; rhythm and rhyme are just fine. For those who don't know about the movie: "Zorba the Greek", here's a google link to click on:
