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.
Of course Kate isn't just playing word games, she's also building
imagary.  Brilliant.
