Verse 1:

C                 Bb         F
We can dance if we want to we can leave your friends behind
                  Bb
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
       C       G
Well they're no friends of mine

   C                     Bb       F
I say, we can go where we want to a place where they will never find
                 Bb
And we can act like we come from out of this world
     C      G
Leave the real one far behind

C                    Bb       F
We can go when we want to, the night is young and so am I
                  Bb
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
    C             G
And surprise 'em with the victory cry

   C              Bb      F
Say, we can act if want to, if we don't nobody will
               Bb
And you can act real rude and totally removed
     C        G
And I can act like an imbecile

We can dance, we can dance, we're doing it from pole to pole
F       Bb         D#        G#
We can dance, we can dance, everybody look at your hands
F       Bb         D#        G#
We can dance, we can dance, everybody takin' the cha-a-a-ance

As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it

Everything'll work out right,
