King of the dance

I was raised in the ghetto

And the floor was my bed

The rhythm of the streets

Was my daily bread

It's a restless situation

And each day's a game of chance

'Cause when you dance in the streets

For a nickel or a dime

You learn how to move, babe

You learn how to shine

And if you shine like a star

They'll call you king of the dance

So come on, come on get up on the floor

Come on, come on dance me some more

Come on take a chance

Be the king of the dance

I'm gonna dance for the world

I ain't never gonna stop

It's a long way down

When you're looking from the top

And if you shine like a star

They'll call you king of the dance

So come on, come on get up on the floor

Come on, come on dance me some more

Come on take a chance, baby

Be the king of the dance

Come on, come on, get up on the floor

Come on, come on dance me some more

Come on take a chance, yeah

Be the king of the dance, yeah

I was raised in the ghetto

And the floor was my bed

The rhythm of the streets

Was my daily bread

It's a restless situation

Every day's a game of chance

Come on, come on get up on the floor

Come on, come on dance me some more

Come on take a chance, yes

Be the king of the dance

Yeah come on, come on, get up on the floor

Come on, come on dance me some more

Come on take a chance

Be the king of the dance, yes, yes

Come on, come on now get up on the floor

Come on, come on and dance me some more

Come on take a chance

Be the king of the dance
