I don’t need no evil eye, Trying to get at me, I come from a place, Where you never wanna see.

If you wanna dance you gotta risk it all, If you wanna dance you gotta risk it all, You ought to dance!

I’ve come this far, Can’t grasp where I’ve been, I left my family, For a place unknown. I’ve seen the mist, I’ve kissed the sun, While you sit and stare, Cause you won’t care, care, care, care!

Cause if you wanna dance you gotta risk it all, If you wanna dance you gotta twist and shout, You ought to dance!

Poor Jackie, poor Jackie, poor Jackie...

I could go here, Or I could go anywhere, Now there’s cocaine here, And there’s heroin there. Ah you’ll never know, You won’t dare, While you sit and you go, Shit on the poor, the poor, the poor, the poor!

If you wanna dance you gotta risk it all, If you wanna dance you gotta risk it all, You ought to dance!

Poor Jackie, poor Jackie, poor Jackie...
