The Reel in the Flickering Lightby Christy MooreAs I was walking home one evenin`I know this takes some believin`I met a group of creaturesWith the strangest lookin` featuresA poor old dove and a worm in the weedAnd a fine old pigeon, yes indeedA daddy longlegs jumpet spriteAs he danced to the reel in the flickering lightOh round we go, heel to the toeAnd the daddy longlegs jumpet spriteAs he danced to the reel in the flickering lightOn his thin and wispy spindlesHe was deft and he was nimbleHis eyes were scientificAnd his dancing was terrificAnd the rats and worms they made a dinAnd the nettles in the corners took it in"Oh God" says I, "Tonight`s the night""We`ll dance to the reel in the flickering light"Oh round we go, heel to the toe"Oh God" says I "tonight`s the nightWe`ll dance to the reel in the flickering light"Then he looked at me directlyWith a gaze that could dissect meThen he asked me in a whisper"Have you got any sisters?""Oh God almighty" says I to him"What sort of a man d`you think I am?I`ve only one she`s not your typeShe wouldn`t dance the reel in the flickering light"So round we go, heel to the toe"I`ve only one she`s not your typeShe wouldn`t dance a reel in the flickering light"Says he:"Does she come from another planet? Does she got a bee in her bonnet? Does she do her daily duties You never know we might be suited"And the rats and the worms began in to laughAnd some of them started shufflin` offWe`re goin` to have some fun tonightGetting ready for the reel in the flickering lightOh round we go, heel to the toeWe`re goin` to have some fun tonightGetting ready for the reel in the flickering lightI could see he had no scruplesWhen I looked into his pupilsThey were purple or magentaLike a statue during lentI said "I`ll get her right away""Good man" says he "now don`t delay"We`re going to have some fun tonightAnd he flicked his legs in the flickering light.Oh round we go, heel to the toeWe`re goin` to have some fun tonightAnd he flicked his legs in the flickering light.Then up stepped a red carnationand they gave her an ovationShe was warm and enchatin`As she slowly started dancin`And the wise old pigeon peeled his eye.And the nettles and the weeds began to sigh.Daddy longlegs said "my-oh-myAre we ready for the reel in the flickering light?"Oh round we go, heel to the toeDaddy longlegs said "my-oh-myAre we ready for the reel in the flickering light?"She was gentle, she was charmin`And I heard him call her "darlin`He was graceful as a whisperOn his delicate legs of silverAnd the rats and worms were still as miceAnd the poor old pigeon said "That`s nice"As shimmering there, ah, the lovely brideAs they danced to the reel in the flickering lightOh round we go, heel to the toeAs shimmering there, ah, the lovely brideAs they danced to the reel in the flickering lightOh round we go, heel to the toeAs shimmering there, ah, the lovely brideAs they danced to the reel in the flickering light
