Shel Silverstein
Dance To It

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, hey, Miss Go-Go, won't cha stop for a minute
'Cause the song you're dancin' to it got somethin' in it
There's a lotta things them long funny words can teach ya
Yeah, but the words don't reach ya

[Chorus]
When you're going, you dance to it
You dance to it
You bop, strut and prance right through it
When the trouble comes along
You'll say nobody gave you a chance
But all you wanna do is dance, dance, dance, yeah
Yeah, dance

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I'm not asking you to do things my way
I'm not telling you to do what I say
I'm not telling you to grab a lotta things that you're missing
It would be nice, tho', to listen

[Chorus]
But you go and you dance to it
Your box slot slop around and prance right through it
When the end comes you'll say nobody gave you a chance
But all you wanna do is dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Why don'tcha open your ears?
The man's sayin' somethin' to ya
Open your eyes
The man's showin' somethin' to ya
Open your mind
The man's telling somethin' in you
But what do you do?

[Chorus]
You go and dance to it
You dance to it
Your box slot slop around and prance right through it
When the end comes along you'll say nobody gave you a chance
But what you wanna do is dance, dance, wait a minute now

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I can see my words ain't gonna move you
I can see my thought ain't gonna groove you
You might stop and think for a just a minute but then
You'll start swingin' again

[Chorus]
And you're gonna dance to it, you dance to it
You move, groove, dance around and prance to it
When the end comes along you'll say nobody gave you a chance
But what you wanna do is dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, yeah
[Spoken]
Hey, wait a minute
Yeah, baby just stop for a second
Do you know what this guy's sayin'?
Do you know what those words mean?
You gotta do somethin'!
No, no, just wait, I mean, oh, come on! Uh...
I mean, take off those Go-Go boots for a second
I mean, yeah, I mean, wait. I mean, uh...
Hey, okay, but what's that stuff?
Like this, huh? Yeah, uh, hmm
