Easter time fourteen, wonder where she's been,
Hiding so long, now hooked with a song,
Tiger damselfish, granting you a wish,
Sharing a sign, birthdays aligned,
Ingenue emeritus,
On your mark, get set, discuss,
Ingenue emeritus,
No one understands the fuss,
Returning to the scene, after 3:19,
Day sixty- nine, erasing a line,
Red dress comes alive, to Beatles '65,
Here in this place, your new state of Grace,
Ingenue emeritus,
On your mark, get set, discuss,
Ingenue emeritus,
No one understands the fuss,
Now nobody, holds a candle,
To the torch you carry to the game,
Cross your heart and, hope to dilate,
Both her pupils till she feels the same,
T-shirt dancing squad, fancy footwork flawed,
Meanwhile in back, the girls get the knack,
Forward three more days, fireworks and haze,
Take after take, in bed wide awake,
Ingenue emeritus,
On your mark, get set, discuss,
Ingenue emeritus,
No one understands the fuss.
