Verse 1:

C                                  Bb                 F
We can dance if we want to we can leave your friends behind
                                   Bb
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
             C             G
Well they're no friends of mine

     C                                          Bb              F
I say, we can go where we want to a place where they will never find
                                 Bb
And we can act like we come from out of this world
          C            G
Leave the real one far behind


Refrain:
           F          Bb    D#  G#
And we can dance (and sing)
           F          Bb    D#  G#


Verse 2:

C                                       Bb              F
We can go when we want to, the night is young and so am I
                                    Bb
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
       C                          G
And surprise 'em with the victory cry

     C                            Bb            F
Say, we can act if want to, if we don't nobody will
                              Bb
And you can act real rude and totally removed
          C               G
And I can act like an imbecile

We can dance, we can dance, we're doing it from pole to pole
F             Bb                 D#                G#
We can dance, we can dance, everybody look at your hands
F             Bb                 D#                G#

We can dance if we want to, we've got all your life and mine
                        Bb
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
