'... but their Hearts dance on!'  

   
'Come on! Get up!' their Hearts called out,    
'Get up and dance around!'    
'Sod off!'
they said. 'We're knackered now!    
We're staying sofa-bound!    
   
'Our dancing days have come and gone,    
and we just want to rest.    
Our poor old knees are creaking now,    
they've lost their spring, they've lost their Wow!    
and we're long past our best.    
   
'There was a time, in distant days,    
when we were young and fit,    
but now we're old and tired and grey,    
our dancing days are far away,    
and we're both well past it.    
   
'While once we grooved and bopped and moved    
and really loved to play,    
here in our armchairs, half asleep,    
together snuggled soft and deep,    
is where we want to stay.    
   
'So bugger off, you beating Hearts,    
and leave us quiet here.    
The party's done, the lights are dark,    
we'd rather saunter in the park    
than dance in groovy gear!'    
   
Well, Grace's Heart said, 'Stuff you, then!    
You useless knackered body!    
The beat within me still beats strong,    
I'm going out where I belong,    
with my best dancin' buddy.'
   
   
Then ajay's Heart agreed with her,    
and cried, 'You tell 'em, dear!    
Our bodies may be past their best,    
they may just want to sit and rest,    
but we're still young, that's clear!'
   
   
Then Grace's Heart and ajay's Heart,    
together beating right,    
went where for Hearts the beat goes on    
and danced away all night.
