Safety Dance

'Unknown performance'

You can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
You can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

The original as it was performed by Men without hats

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
Say, we can go where we want to, a place that they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance

We can go when we want to, the night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise them with the victory cry
Say, we can act if we want to, if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude or totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

Say we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody taken the chance

The safety dance (x3)

We can dance if we want to, we've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it we are never going to lose it
And everything will work out right
Say, we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
well they're no friend of mine

Say we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody taken the chance

The safety dance (x12)
