Lore:Dance the Square (journal)

Oh Nelly-oh, Oh Nelly-oo

What a stompin' good time ee-oh

Oh Nelly-oh, Oh Nelly-oo

What a stompin' good time ago

We danced the square and we danced the knots

and we danced those ships against the rocks

And the black hearts turned and fled

away

They rue the day

Awaaaaaaaay!

Historical Note: "Dance the Square" is an old sea shanty from K'Ley. In the end of the shanty, everyone traditionally stomps their feet chaotically. In some performances, the dancers crush wooden model ships beneath their feet. The shanty is an ode to a battle in which four Colossals square danced in the waves among a fleet of fragile wooden enemy galleons, destroying them all. The officers in charge were only verbally reprehended.
