Keep stepping forward
singing songs of happiness
this life belongs to our nation
keep laying it down for her
Gordon Lightfoot - Rainy Day People
Rainy day people always seem to know
When you're feeling blue
High-stepping strutters who land in the gutters
Sometimes need one, too
Alberta Hunter - Cake Walking Babies From Home
Cakewalkers may come and cakewalkers may go,
But listen to me tell you 'bout a couple I know,
High stepping pair, I say they're there,
When they're out for business, not a soul can compare!
But when the show is in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines mean I'm forgetting
Mein lullaby-liebchen
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
Feels like I’ve forgotten what’s important
The anxiety is coming
And I can’t walk anymore
I don’t know why this is happening
Guess they mad at me huh, really pissed off (so)
Better that than pissed on, I'm the Jetsons you the Flintstones
Catch me in the end zone, high stepping prime time
Thought you niggas been on, ain't no blocking my shine
But when the show's in full swing
Every once in a while
High stepping chorus lines
Mean I'm forgetting
For all you fancy lion-tamers, high-wire fiery flamers
Ravers of every kind
For all you high-stepping sexy witches
Sons of satin, son-of-bitches

Champagne, caviar, hot boys at the bar
Lookin' at me, yeah they are lookin' at me
I was true to you, just to find my point of view
Now you are lookin' at me, yeah you are lookin' at me
Then Aphrodite the daughter of Zeus answered him: “Anchises, most glorious of mortal men, take courage and be not too fearful in your heart. You need fear no harm from me [195] nor from the other blessed ones, for you are dear to the gods: and you shall have a dear son who shall reign among the Trojans, and children's children after him, springing up continually. His name shall be Aeneas,3 because I felt awful grief in that I laid me in the bed of a mortal man: [200] yet are those of your race always the most like to gods of all mortal men in beauty and in stature.4
Verily wise Zeus carried off golden-haired Ganymedes because of his beauty, to be amongst the Deathless Ones and pour drink for the gods in the house of Zeus — [205] a wonder to see—,honored by all the immortals as he draws the red nectar from the golden bowl. But grief that could not be soothed filled the heart of Tros; for he knew not whither the heaven-sent whirlwind had caught up his dear son, so that he mourned him always, unceasingly, [210] until Zeus pitied him and gave him high-stepping horses such as carry the immortals as recompense for his son. These he gave him as a gift. And at the command of Zeus, the Guide, the slayer of Argus, told him all, and how his son would be deathless and unageing, even as the gods. [215] So when Tros heard these tidings from Zeus, he no longer kept mourning but rejoiced in his heart and rode joyfully with his storm-footed horses.

On Thursday night she looked a fright
Her pricky hair all curled, oh what a sight
Dance, dance, little sister, dance

[1] I will remember and not be unmindful of Apollo who shoots afar. As he goes through the house of Zeus, the gods tremble before him and all spring up from their seats when he draws near, as he bends his bright bow.
[5] But Leto alone stays by the side of Zeus who delights in thunder; and then she unstrings his bow, and closes his quiver, and takes his archery from his strong shoulders in her hands and hangs them on a golden peg against a pillar of his father's house. Then she leads him to a seat and makes him sit: [10] and the Father gives him nectar in a golden cup welcoming his dear son, while the other gods make him sit down there, and queenly Leto rejoices because she bare a mighty son and an archer. Rejoice, blessed Leto, for you bare glorious children, [15] the lord Apollo and Artemis who delights in arrows; her in Ortygia, and him in rocky Delos, as you rested against the great mass of the Cynthian hill hard by a palm-tree by the streams of Inopus.
He send me the fire
He send me her

Oh Mary, oh Mary, the stars of the prairie
Still shine on your high-stepping shoes
But those were the days, Mary, those were the days
Portuguese Folk - Lisbon Is Already Dancing In The Street (Lisbon March)
Everything is ready in the city!
There's a scent of celebration
And the sun, radiates cheer.
In every chest, anxiety awakens
I was feeling bad, kind of sad
And I did not know the cause or the reason
Then you came, walking by
And you took away that sad and lonesome feeling
Champagne, caviar, hot boys at the bar
Are lookin′ at me, yeah, they're lookin′ at me
I was true to you, just to find my point of view
Now you're lookin' at me, yeah, you′re looking at me
