By NATE BUCKLIN All my life I’ve had a left foot Kept it moving every chance I got Kept if pounding like a pulsar Maybe faster or a little less hot. And a right foot, two arms, and a body And a feeling for a rhythmic groove. And we’ve got a lot of friends and neighbors And we’ve all been learning how to move. CHORUS: I just want you to know that we kept on dancing Right on till Doomsday morn. I just want you to know that we kept on dancing Clear through till Gabriel honked his horn. Till the moon fell and cracked the skylight And the sun came shining through. I just want you to know that we kept on dancing What else was there to do? Outside the rain was falling The wind was blowing far too fast. Down the street there’s talk of a gang war That I really don’t expect will last. I’ve got a five dollar bill in my pocket Got a smile growing on my face And we’re moving like a herd of locomotives And it’s more than just running in place. (chorus) Now you might think I’m making a statement About the dancing frame of mind. Maybe telling my own life story Being just a little less than kind. Or taking a cheap and easy chance To sing another silly song. Or you might think I’m being profound again, But you would still be wrong. (chorus) (chorus) © 1985 by Nate Bucklin |
