Grasshoppers are dancing in the heat
To some far-off Latin beat
The senoritas of the air
Wear hibiscus in their hair
But no one moves when the lizard
Scurries into the yard
And a distant woman starts to sing
Her favorite beautiful song
And we are wrapped in fear and joy
Hearing together for a while
How the world was made
Funny but it's not you said
With just one harmonica
Sharp as a grasshopper's blade
And rounded off with a smile
