   Playing Canasta in cold rooms 
   Playing Canasta
   Upstairs, downstairs and in my lover's room..

  I  met a boy, who took me upstairs,
  then took me in his arms and told me I comforted him. aha..

  Don't worry my dear, don't cry you weird old stranger,
  I'm going away,
  you probably won't ever see me again

  Oh yes, I know, I'm always falling
  Gazing at hazy goldfish in your swimming eyes

>Don't die, my silly little baby! 
>I'm going away for a little while, 
>And shouldn't be gone for very long."
