The Dancing Mongol Princess

There was Genghis Khan

There was his grandson

 Kublai Khan

And their dancing offspring

Princess Khan Khan

who was praised in the Song of Dynasty

right in China’s line

after the Great Wall was scaled

And when asked by Marco Polo

Who enjoyed the pleasure of a visit

In her Dome

If she could sing

Replied certainly more, I can

She could sing and dance so beautifully

That throughout the Mongol’s Empires

Khan Khan became an icon

Because there was nothing

a Khan couldn’t do

certainly Khan Khan could Can Can

And would say

I Khan

Can you?

And was tempted to say

Tippy Canoe and Tyler too

But said instead

Twenty Three Skidoo

and toodeloo too

I Khan do

Whatever Xana can du…
