    For me, right up there with Peter, Paul and Mary's "Puff the Magic Dragon" is

    Cat Stevens' 

    "Oh, Very Young"

    Crimson flames tied through my ears, rollin' high and mighty traps
    Pounced with fire on flaming roads, usin' ideas as my maps
    We'll meet on edges, soon, " said I, proud 'neath heated brow ah
    But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

    Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate, " I screamed
    Lies that life is black and white spoke from my skull I dreamed
    Romantic facts of musketeers foundation deep, somehow
    Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

    In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach
    Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach
    My pathway led by confusion boats mutiny from stern to bow
    Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now
    Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now

    Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats too noble to neglect
    Deceived me into thinkin', I had something to protect
    Good and bad, I define these terms quite clear, no doubt, somehow
    Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

  • Wow, there's some great choreography in that dance routine.
    I like the 2 person cartwheels they were doing.
    That's a fun one, thanks. : )
