According to Wikipedia:
To “trip the light fantastic” is to dance nimbly or lightly to music. This phrase evolved over time. Its origin is attributed to John Milton’s 1645 poem L’Allegro, which includes lines addressed to Euphrosyne—one of the Three Graces of Greek mythology:

Come, and trip it as ye go,
On the light fantastick toe.

In Milton’s use the word “trip” is to “dance nimbly” and “fantastic” suggests “extremely fancy”. “Light fantastic” refers to the word toe, and “toe” refers to a dancer’s “footwork”. “Toe” has since disappeared from the idiom, which then becomes: “trip the light fantastic”.

We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
The crowd called out for more

Oh.
I thought it was referring to the consumption of
Hallucinogenic materials !
Just say, “No, to Woot!”
Or ask…
What kind of ‘Trips’, are we talking about?
I’d like to go to Scotland.
But, Quebec will do…
Now, isn’t that Fantastic!
