The ballroom at the Midvale nursing home was full that night.
Two hundred eager resident were waiting with delight
To see Toerag the Hypnotist put on his famous show.
They sat there, waiting patiently, as lights were turned down low.

Then there he was - our Toerag - bowing to their wild applause.
He wore a suit so green that it could break at least ten laws.
His hands a bit unsteady from the scotch he drank last night
But, even in this drunken state, the man was quite a sight.

He stood there, smiling, then said "Friends, we're gonna have a ball.
Instead of choosing one or two, I'll hypnotize you all!"
He had a gold watch on a chain that started moving slow,
Back and forth the gold watch went, swaying to and fro.

Four hundred eyes were mesmerized while staring at the watch
But Toerag's hand was not too steady, mainly from the scotch.
The watch fell to the floor and broke! "Crap!!!" ole Toerag swore.
It took the night crew several hours to clean the ballroom floor!
