Lyrics

I CAN DANCE
(Music & Lyrics: Ron Hiller/RONNO
– © Song Support/SOCAN)

OK, sit down on the floor
Now, fold your hands in your lap
And close your eyes
There, that’s nice!
Now, stay that way
Until it’s time… to dance!

Sitting still is hard to do
With mouths closed and both eyes too
I can’t always stay that way
Can you?

CHORUS:
But I can dance
With my hands in the air
Wave my arms all around
Twist my feet on the ground
Yes, I can dance
‘Till the blues go away
Like I’m some kind of clown
Until it’s time to sit down
(Back down on the floor)

Sitting still can be good too
Sometimes it’s the thing to do
But right now is not the time
It’s true (Here we go)

REPEAT CHORUS
(Sitting back down)

Sitting like a big brown toad
Staring straight ahead – uh, oh!
Stay this way too long
And I’ll explode!

CHORUS:
But I can dance
With my hands in the air
Wave my arms all around
Twist my feet on the ground
Yes, I can dance
(Dance, dance, I can dance; yes, I can dance)
‘Till the blues go away
(Dance, dance, take a chance; I can dance)
Like I’m some kind of clown
Until it’s time to sit down?!
Well, no way!
‘Cause I can dance
Never gonna sit down
Let’s jump!
(Whew!)
