The girl in the rubber shoes has run away from home |
|
To the gymnasium |
|
The sun in the blinds is blue and the girl moves through the room |
|
Like an aquarium |
|
Rules of the game of quoits |
|
Use the dimmest light or the brightest light |
|
When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire |
|
Rules of the game of quoits |
|
Use the softest matting or the hardest floor |
|
When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire |
|
Tunics may be worn or torn away |
|
And the rules of the game may be ignored |
|
The boy with the ruddy face has left his place of work |
|
For the gymnasium |
|
He enters like a tent where the girl has left her scent |
|
Like a geranium |
|

Use the softest matting or the hardest floor |

Rules of the game of quoits |
|
If your posture's right you can thrust the quoit |
|
When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire |
|
Tunics may be worn or torn away |
|
And the rules of the game may be ignored |
|
The girl in the rubber shoes pins the ruddy-faced boy to the floor |
|
Of the gymnasium |
|
She's crawling on the spot, she's the ink-rubber, he's the blot |
|
And she erases him |
|
Rules of the game of quoits |
|
Use the dimmest light or the brightest light |
|
When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire |

Rules of the game of quoits |
|
Bend your knees and swing through ninety degrees |
|
When the hoops start melting and the sticks catch fire |
|
Tunics may be worn or torn away |
|
And the rules of the game may be ignored |
|
"For love will endure or not endure |
|
Regardless of where we are" |
