Lyrics

[Intro]

S-A-F-E-T-Y

Safety dance!

[Verse 1]

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

I say, we can go where we want to

A place where 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

[Verse 2]

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 where 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 (Dansez!)

[Verse 3]

We can go when we want to

Night is young, and so am I

And we can dress real neat, from our hats to our feet

And surprise 'em with the victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to

If we don't, nobody will

And you can act real rude and totally removed

And I can act like an imbecile

[Chorus]

And 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's taking the chance

[Refrain]

Safety dance

Oh well, the safety dance

Ah yes, the safety dance

[Bridge]

S-A-F-E-T-Y

Safety dance

[Verse 4]

We can dance if we want to

We've got all your life and mine

As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it

Everything'll work out right

I say, we can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance

Well, they're no friends of mine

[Chorus]

I 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's taking the chance

[Outro]

Oh well, the safety dance

Ah yes, the safety dance

Oh well, the safety dance

Oh well, the safety dance

Oh yes, the safety dance

Oh, it's the safety dance, yeah

Well, it's the safety dance

It's the safety dance

Well, it's the safety dance

Oh, it's the safety dance

Oh, it's the safety dance

Oh, it's the safety dance
