lyrics

Here's Ruth Fisher, matriarch, uptight and grumpy
Dowdy dress and ankle socks Ruth is looking frumpy
Energy drawn in like a spring coiled tightly
Turning down the chance of fun ever so politely

Anxious, worried, nervous, tense, lives on the defensive
Stiff and rigid, stuffy, prim, ever apprehensive
Now and then it gets too much she can't hold in emotion
And all consumed she flies so high a passionate explosion

Dance Ruth Fisher dance
Seize the moment grab your chance
Spin Ruth Fisher twirl
Your world is in a whirl

Rudderless she's going wild her tiller with no hand on
Whirling dervish fast and free she moves with gay abandon
Letting all her anger out her pent up frustration
Head thrown back and laughing loud releasing agitation

Energy, vitality, vibrant and vivacious
Like her hair she's flowing free beautiful and gracious
Swallowed by the moment of high invigoration
Giddy in an ecstasy of mad exhilaration

Dance Ruth Fisher dance
Seize the moment grab your chance
Spin Ruth Fisher twirl
Your world is in a whirl

Then she comes down hard and fast ashamed of her excitement
Back to earth the gravity weighs heavy where she'd lightened
Earnestly she checks herself and regains her composure
Straightens up to stand up tall and rue the self exposure

Poor Ruth Fisher stony faced will fight to stay quite calm
Quiet unassuming with an awkward subtle charm
Now she stores the feelings up for when it next emerges
Waits for the release again when emotion surges

Dance Ruth Fisher dance
Seize the moment grab your chance
Spin Ruth Fisher twirl
Your world is in a whirl
