Well, Kendall, I was intrigued for a while, because the tune for Springfield Mountain seems to be a sprightly old dance tune, perhaps German or Czech. If you are familiar with the Mozart dance known as 'Michael Turner's Waltz,' you will hear the similarity.

However, none of the MIDI's I found seemed complete. No B part, and the A part is awful short.

As for the words, suffice it to say I don't enjoy visualizing snakebite and rotten teeth.

I wish I could find the original dance without having to hear the lyrics.
