The Band Played On

"The Band Played On" was a song that was played during Casey and Marie Ward's wedding reception. During the reception, the Wards became stuck dancing to the song, while the gramophone kept replaying the song. The guests thought it was a prank and left, but one returned five weeks later to find the Wards still dancing to the song, after which they were sent to the London County Mental Hospital. (PROSE: )
It went:
:Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde
:And the band played on...
:He'd glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored 
:And the band played on… 
:He'd ne'er leave the girl with the strawberry curls
:And the band played on…
