[Intro]
\nDancing feet
\nKeep on movin’ (movin’)
\nWhy not
\n(Take your best shot)<\/p>\n

\nDance, partner, dance
\n(Bullets hit the floor)
\nDance, partner, dance
\n(Better dance some more)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDancing feet
\nKeep on movin’ (movin’)
\nWhy not
\n(Take your best shot)<\/p>\n

\n(Hysterical honky)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDancing feet
\nKeep on movin’ (movin’)
\nWhy not
\n(Take your best shot)<\/p>\n

\n(Take your best shot)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nYou will (dance against your will)
\nUntil (you don’t stand still)<\/p>\n
