Dance!

The Pretenders

Dance! 
If you will 
Dance! 
On your capitol hill 
Dance! 
If you can 
Dance! 
Like a twentieth century man 

Take the people by the throat 
Give 'em a reason to give you a vote 
Take your audience up on stage 
Let them think you're a sage 

Dance! 
If you want 
Dance! 
Like you've got a house to haunt 
Dance! 
Like a freak 
Dance! 
Like you needed it all week 

Take your people by the hand 
Tell 'em you'll get 'em to the promised land 
Take your woman in the heat of the night 
Make her think you're right 
See'mon! 

Dance! 
Like a chimpanzee 
Dance! 
In the 'land of the free' 
Dance! 
Like a russian ballet 
Dance! 
Like a funky situe 

Let 'em know that you're well read 
Quote the things that jesus said 
Lift your face and your whiskey neat 
To get you up on your feet 
See'mon!
