> Um, well, I don't know about "silly" but it certainly is clever. _Heads We're Dancing_ is also a play on the words "heads were dancing," a reference to the way a coin dances around before settling on heads or tails. Note the following verse: They say that the Devil is a charming man. And just like you I bet he can dance And he's coming up behind in his long Tailed black coat dance All tails in the air But the penny landed with its head dancing There's some very witty word play going on in those last four lines.
