Rapunzel looked down on her prince in despair
as the courageous young maiden laid her soul bare.
Sadly this fairytale has become a nightmare
and lice was the reason for cutting her hair!

--

The absence of notes led to the void inbetween
so the conductor made a gesture considered obscene
and the overture was stalled by a fatal snag
upon finding the first violinist in a body bag!

--

The Knights of the Round Table could not fail
in their quest for the perfection of the Holy Grail
when the classified section led them down the trail
to its dubious existence at a liquidation sale!

--

Howard Hughes was a lonely guy
who preferred to stay in than look at the sky.
He feared all germs and did not roam.
The lights were on but no one was home!

--

With intricate steps there's no time to pause
as the choreography contains a sinister clause
and the Conspiracy Tango offers a vital clue:
if this isn't my partner then who are you?
