Byzantium was a city so grand, Where Byzantines slept on golden sand. But one day they woke with a funny plan, To dance the Byzantium ban-dan-dan! They hopped and skipped with a jazzy prance, Twirled and twirled in a wild dance. With Byzantium bells they made a sound, That echoed across the Byzantium ground. But clumsy Bob tripped on his own shoe, And crashed into Sue, oh what a to-do! They tumbled and stumbled, oh so alarmed, And caused a Byzantium belly-flop, unharmed! The crowd erupted with laughter and glee, At Bob and Sue's hilarious spree. They danced and laughed till the sun went dim, Byzantium became a joyful hymn! So next time you visit Byzantium's land, Join the ban-dan-dan, take a chance! Dance and giggle, just like a clown, Byzantium will never let you frown!
