dance, dance the shaking of the sheets,
dance, dance when you hear the piper playing,
everyone must dance
the shaking of the sheets with me.

bring away the beggar, bring away the king,
and every man in his degree.
bring away the oldest and the youngest thing,
come to death and follow me.

bring away the merchant who made his money in france,
and the crafty banker too,
when you hear the piper, you and i must dance
the dance that everyone must do.

dance, dance the shaking of the sheets,
dance, dance when you hear the piper playing,
everyone must dance
the shaking of the sheets with me.

i’ll find you in the courtrooms, i’ll find you in the schools,
when you hear the piper play.
i’ll take away the wise men, i’ll take away the fools
and bring their bodies all to clay.

all the politicians of high and low degree,
lords and ladies, great and small.
don’t think that you’ll escape and need not dance with me,
i’ll make you come when i do call.

dance, dance the shaking of the sheets,
dance, dance when you hear the piper playing,
everyone must dance
the shaking of the sheets with me.

dance, dance the shaking of the sheets,
dance, dance when you hear the piper playing,
everyone must dance
the shaking of the sheets with me.

it may be in the day, it may be in the night,
prepare yourselves to dance and pray.
that when the piper plays “the shaking of the sheets”
you may to heaven dance the way.

dance, dance the shaking of the sheets,
dance, dance when you hear the piper playing,
everyone must dance
the shaking of the sheets with me.

dance, dance the shaking of the sheets,
dance, dance when you hear the piper playing,
everyone must dance
the shaking of the sheets with me.

Let’s face it… everyone who pays attention to politics are all about supporting one side or the other… but you know what? We all are equal in death. It won’t matter who you voted for, what your income was, or who high and mighty friends you had. There are pluses and minuses to each side of the arguments… and although we can strive to make things better for while we walk the earth, it does not change the end result. Birth is the leading cause of death.
Oh and just so you know.. I really do like this song too. I’m not bitter or anything… I think anymore people are just worrying and stressing more then it’s necessary. Enjoy life, because you never know which day is the last – for you or for others.
