Safety Dance
D
We can dance if we want to
C G
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance
C
And if they don't dance
D A
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
|G|C|F|B| x 2
(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
G C
we can dance We can dance
F B
Ev'rything's out of control
G C
We can dance We can dance
F B
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Ev'rybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Ev'rybody's taken the chance åhh
D A E H D
Safety dance, oh safety dance
A E H
Yes safety dance oh
Intro
we can dance if we want to
We got all your life to find
As long as we abuse it
never gonna lose it
everything will work out fine
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
we can dance We can dance
Ev'rything's out of control
We can dance We can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Ev'rybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Ev'rybody's taken the chance åhh
Safety dance, oh safety dance
Yes safety dance
Safety dance, oh safety dance
Yes safety dance oh

We can go if we want to, night is young and so was I
And we can dress real neat from our heads to our feet

And you can act real rude and totally removed
I can act like an imbecile

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cos your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
We can dance, we can dance, everything is under control
We can dance, we can dance, 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
Safety dance
Oh, safety dance, yeah, safety dance
