“Step, step, step away,
Always jolly and always gay.
While my steps may not last, you see,
How would things look if it wasn’t for me!”
sang Baster, dancing and whirling around the table-top.
“He hates himself,” cried some of the other One-Eyed Fairies from the pincushion. Then Baster went on singing:
“Laugh, smile, dance away,
Enjoy yourself, is what I say.
Do your work, then dance for joy,
Is the motto I give to each girl and boy!”
