about

This track was inspired by the Kids on Bikes podcast Bike Brigade, specifically episode 31, in which everyone danced the limbo (among other things.)

James suggested the band at the dance would have a regional hit the following year called "Spooky Little Limbo Girl." In the next moment I clearly heard someone say "Someone please write this song."

*Bows* As you wish. I hope it gives you even a fraction of the enjoyment your podcast has given me.

(Mary, I must apologize for saying "you can come as you are." I realize dressing up was expected; I can only plead that I was seduced by the aptness of the following rhyme.)

lyrics

Spooky Little Limbo Girl
By Cat Faber (writing for the band Sue Me.)

We’re gonna do the limbo at the high school dance
We’re gonna have a contest tonight
If you touch the bar or fall there will be no second chance
You only limbo once at any height

You can dress to the nines you can come as you are.
We’re raising the tempo as we lower the bar.
If you think you can do it, come give it a whirl.
Spooky little limbo girl. Spooky little limbo girl.

It’s important to be limber, it’s important not to fall
It’s good to be the deftest one around
But it’s nearly as important to be very very small
And this spooky little girl has got that down

You’ve got the power to make it a fight
You’re quick and you’re clever, you’re limber and slight
There’s sweat on your face and you’ll sleep well tonight!
Rise to your tiptoes and twirl, Spooky little limbo girl.
Spooky little limbo girl.

You can dress to the nines you can come as you are.
We’re raising the tempo as we lower the bar.
If you think you can do it, come give it a whirl.
Spooky little limbo girl. Spooky little limbo girl.
Spooky little limbo girl. Spooky little limbo girl.
