Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

Dance!

Dance!

If you will

Dance!

On your capitol hill

Dance!

If you can

Dance!

Like a twentieth century man

Take the people by the throat

Give 'em a reason to give you a vote

Take your audience up on stage

Let them think you're a sage

Dance!

If you want

Dance!

Like you've got a house to haunt

Dance!

Like a freak

Dance!

Like you needed it all week

Take your people by the hand

Tell 'em you'll get 'em to the promised land

Take your woman in the heat of the night

Make her think you're right

See'mon!

Dance!

Like a chimpanzee

Dance!

In the 'land of the free'

Dance!

Like a russian ballet

Dance!

Like a funky situe

Let 'em know that you're well read

Quote the things that jesus said

Lift your face and your whiskey neat

To get you up on your feet

See'mon!
