The night Murphy danced

The Night Murphy Danced (Part II)

(Verse 1)

Murphy and I, in a smokey room,

Talking 'bout hotdogs and the quantum boom.

Lauria came in with Hamburger Helper in hand,

Out of nowhere, Murphy took the stand.

(Pre-Chorus)

He said, "Guys, I can dance, oh yes, I can!"

I knew he couldn’t, wasn't part of the plan.

Lauria’s grin stretched from ear to ear,

"Really? Really? Show us, dear!"

(Chorus)

Stop! Stop now! I had to shout,

This ain't the time for a dancing bout.

We sat back down, smoke filled the air,

But Murphy’s moves? He didn't care!

(Verse 2)

Murphy stood up, head in a spin,

"No really, I can dance!"—he wore a grin.

Bent over, licking his lips with flair,

"Just give me a chance, I swear, I swear!"

(Pre-Chorus)

He swayed to the rhythm, twirling with pride,

Ripped off his shirt, said, "Look at this, guys!"

Lauria got hot, cash in her hand,

And that's when things got out of hand.

(Chorus)

Stop! Stop now! I had to shout,

This ain't the time for a dancing bout.

We sat back down, smoke filled the air,

But Murphy’s moves? He didn't care!

(Bridge)

Lauria got close, cash in the air,

Rolled up a dollar, slipped it in there.

I turned to the wall, couldn’t bear to hear,

What happened that night became my greatest fear.

(Chorus)

Stop! Stop now! I had to shout,

This ain't the time for a dancing bout.

We sat back down, smoke filled the air,

But Murphy’s moves? He didn’t care!

(Outro)

Whatever happened, I’ll never know,

But next time Murphy dances, I won’t go.

The night was wild, but now I see,

It’s burned forever in my memory.
