[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen…
Watch closely.
They’re moving very fast…
Just don’t ask where they’re going!
(Surely… it can’t last?)
[Verse 1]
Got a question, change the subject
Got a fact, they try to duck it
Make a promise, make a fuss
Then explain it’s not about us
Twist a phrase and turn it ’round
Keep the truth from being found
Talk in circles, take a bow
What’s the question anyhow?
[Bridge]
A little shuffle
(A little spin)
Never answer
(Just grin, grin, grin!)
[Refrain]
At any chance…
(Watch ’em dance)
Around the details
Forget “like snails”
(They double-time)
To the rhythm of the rhyme
Their stance:
(Dance!)
Around the details
[Verse 2]
Cherry-pick a little here
Leave the inconvenient facts unclear
Move the goalposts down the line
Call it evidence, call it fine
When the details start to bite
Change the subject overnight
[Bridge]
Spin that story
(One more time)
Hide the answer
(Inside the rhyme)
[Refrain]
At any chance…
(Watch ’em dance)
Around the details
Forget “like snails”
(They double-time)
To the rhythm of the rhyme
Their stance:
(Dance!)
Around the details
[Bridge]
What’s the date?
(That’s not the issue!)
What’s the source?
(Why should we miss you?)
Show the work!
(That’s too much trouble!)
Check the facts!
(We’ll make them double!)
Where’s the proof?
(Just trust the sound!)
Who said that?
(The word goes ’round!)
No straight answer
(No clear trail)
Just another
(Dance routine for sale!)
Question! (Answer!)
Fact check! (Can’t you?)
Evidence! (Show it!)
Truth now! (Know it!)
Left! (Right!)
Spin! (Twirl!)
Dance around
(The whole wide world!)
[Final Refrain]
At any chance…
(Watch ’em dance)
Around the details
Forget “like snails”
(They double-time)
To the rhythm of the rhyme
Their stance:
(Dance!)
Around the details
[Outro]
One step forward…
(Two steps back!)
One fact missing…
(That’s their track!)
Round and round
(They never fail)
To dance around…
(The details!)
Don’t be a jerk…
Show your work!
(Don’t dance around!)
Solid proof is sound
