Waltzing Pagodas

~11th century pagodas in Bagan, Burma

Once a Jolly Shandy

Sat by the Irrawaddy

Under the shade of a banyan tree

And she sang as she sat, a lacquered bowl in her palm,

You’ll come a-waltzing pagodas with me.

Waltzing stupas, waltzing temples,

You’ll come a-waltzing pagodas with me

And she sang as she sat, 

A lacquered bowl in her palm

You’ll come a-waltzing pagodas with me. 

~The banks of the Irrawaddy
