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

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

Or sing!

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 '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

And say, we can dance, we can dance

They're doing it from pole to pole

Safety dance

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

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

I say, we can dance, we can dance

We're doing it from pole to pole

Oh yes, the safety dance

Oh, the safety dance, yeah

It's the safety dance
