The Cosmic Dancer

He danced fast and furious

As his damru toned

Tadum budum tadum budum tadum budum

 

The earth shook and the sky split

While thunders sounded

Gudu gudu budubudu dubudubu

 

He paused and silence reigned

Except for the drumbeat

Taatum tatam tamtaa tatam tatam taahaa

 

Feet moved again slowly

Picking a cosmic rhythm

Tham thom thaam thom thadha Gina tham thom thaam thom
