Once upon a time, in a land far away,
Lived a little girl who loved to dance and sway.
Her name was Lily, and she danced all day,
With a music box she always brought to play.

Lily said, "I'll never dance alone,
As long as I have my music box and its tone."
And so she danced to the beat,
With a smile on her face and tapping feet.

The music box played a tune so sweet,
And Lily's movements were a lovely treat.
She twirled and spun and skipped and hopped,
As the music played, she never stopped.

She danced in the sun and under the moon,
She danced in the morning, and at noon.
She danced with her friends and family,
But even when she was alone, she danced happily.

And everyone who saw her could see,
The joy that dancing brought to Lily.
With her music box and her love for dance,
Lily brought happiness with every prance.

So children, remember this tale,
And let Lily's dancing never fail.
Always dance, and never be afraid,
To move and groove to the music you've made.
