The Dance of SalomeThe Dance of Salome
Herod bellowed out the night's festive orders..
"Bring the torches, bring the tables..
more wine, that we may rejoice,
for tonight we revel in kindred friendship."

SalomeSolome danced like someone who danced before the gods
With hungry eyes they watched her every move

Is Ra Ill Question MarkSalome just loved gingerbread
But Herod misheard what she said
Who wants a dead head
To bounce in their bed?
