LYRICS
Can’t help but dance
When I hear the call
Feet grow like plants
And I stand up tall
Feet hit the floor
And I cry “one more!”

Can’t help but dance
When we hear the call
We’ll take the chance
Let us make the haul
Feet hit the floor
And we shout “one more!”

LYRICS
Our world — drifting through space
Yet there are those determined for a fixed place
Well, here’s some new knew

LYRICS
Hey, Baby
Can I make you smile
Hey, Baby
Even for a little while?
In a manger, there he lay
All I’ll say is,
“Can I play?”
And, Baby
Maybe make you smile for a while
If by chance
It’ll make you dance…
Or, just sway in a swaddlin’ way
Baby, can I get you to dance?

LYRICS
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
But, I confess…
I’m nervous
I’m serious…
Sorry if I appear delirious
But, I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through
Get between us?
Let’s careen us
Set our sails
Not off the rails
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through

LYRICS
I’ve seen it all
My painted wall
Is slowly drying
Compassion swell
As we dwell
Instead of dying
You know
Looking out our window
There goes
Watching our hearts grow

Been here before
It’s time for more
Let’s make it stick
Pour on galore
It’s in your core
And make it quick
You know
Looking out our window
There goes
Watching our hearts grow

LYRICS
Dropped the sway?
Walk this way
Pick up the peaces
Life’s leases
Needle and thread
Sow your bed
Lament on the spent
Just to the extent
Of once
Else, dunce
Same mistake twice
A half-baked device
(Call that a vice?)
Dropped puzzle pieces
The awe of jigsaw
Pick up the peaces
The zen back when
Make it happen again
If you could see
What I saw
See saw
Dropped puzzle pieces
Pick up the peaces
Life’s leases

Hey, Maestro, do you know
Remember how the tune goes
With a familiar beat

LYRICS
That’s what I’m talking about!
Shout:
“O.K. Jose”
Hit the road, toad
Get jumping
Hop to it
I will install
(and good ole
Rock n’ roll)
The lance of “let’s dance”
With a glance, lance let’s dance
It’s a draw
The art of the art
A real deal
Picture this
Sound synthesis
Opening up you mind’s “I”
At stake — awake
In the dawning of the rise
Mind’s eyes
Taking the stance: music + dance

LYRICS
It makes me so happy
I start to move
It makes me so happy
I like to groove
Tap my feet
To the sound of the beat
Clap my hands
To the sounds of the bands

Cutting rug
Shoulders shrug
Slap my knee
Laugh n’ glee
Happy
My stance takes on a dance
I like to groove
Do you like to groove, too?

LYRICS
Starting up this thing
Everybody sing
Give those feet a chance
To dance
In the morning
In the evening
In the daylight
And dark of night
Living on song and dance
Puts a twinkle in your glance
It’ll keep you young at heart
Give an old soul a knew/new start

Dancing along to every song
Raising a voice singing along
Can justify whatever’s wrong
As long as your spirit can hear it

LYRICS
Look at me slowly
See me wholly
Look deep in my eyes
Look deep in my I’s
They say
When I play
You can hear it
Through spirit

Just for a start
Look deep in your heart
Then try to listen
They say
When you play
You can hear it
Through spirit

Let’s make a fuss
’til they look at us
Dance in the street
With all that we meet
Too often forgot
It’s all that we’ve got
Why not?
Dance in the street
With all that we meet
