I think they'll wear dresses

 		can you touch type?

keyboard shift means that you're moving your fingers, but typing the same.. so s=a d=s f=d g=f etc.

 		I have left level 72 behind me Smile , but i have a question about that level. Can someone explain the phrase "lords-a-leaping" to me please?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I was lucky to find the answer to this level, because i googled for the phrase "lords-a-leaping" and found an article about it here .

Is this a common phrase or was it somehow "invented" for marketing reasons for Olympia in London in 2012?

 		It's from the christmas carol "12 Days of Christmas":

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me:
A partridge in a pear tree.

<snip>

On the tenth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me:
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.

<snip>

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me:
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You've obviously already figured out that this is like a rebus, and that the heavy lines divide between words. Be aware that, unlike a true rebus, each clue will not exactly spell out the next word -- there are plenty of "sounds like" clues. The next word, to get you started, is "call."
