I want to dance!
I want to dance!
Just raise my hands up,
Let the world pour down,
And DANCE!

Spin myself up in rainbows,
And float up with the clouds.
I want the rain to drench me,
And the sun to dry me up.
I want the moon to tan my skin,
And the stars to fill my cup. (Drink up!)

I want to dance!
I want to dance!
Just raise my hands up,
Let the world pour down,
And DANCE!

Spin myself up in the tall grass,
And sleep in the flower beds.
I want the dirt to cover me,
And the birds to dig me up.
I want the trees to hug me,
And their sweet sap to fill my cup. (Drink up!)

I want to dance!
I want to dance!
Just raise my hands up,
Let the world pour down,
And DANCE!







So let's boogaloo! And Boogey with Stu! Take my hands and I'll dance with you! :) Good day, good day all! Hope everyone has a wonderful day and if you're lucky, you can dance the night away! :D A do the Harlem Shuffle! :p

    :) Why thank you BlackSin!!!! I love it and it made me want to make a new addition! Here it be:

    Hammer the nail,
    And you bleed the light.

    Walk beside me,
    Burn shadows through the night.

    Your hand in mine,
    Our bodies pulled tight.

    We step in time,
    Rise up and take flight!



    So dance with me,
    Hold hands with me
    O' child of the night.
    I'll be your eyes,
    Please share my eyes,
    We'll spin right outta sight!

    :)



    Mmmm, I love dancing in the rain too, A HitchHiker Poet! :)

    And LMFAO! PJfaninmaine! The Hokey Pokey Smokey Wokey! :p You so funny! Love you too!

    Dance by Motorhead :)

    If you want to feel good,
    If you want to feel alright,
    If you want to shake your stuff,
    Get some rock 'n' roll tonight,

    Dance, give it all you got,
    Dance, Dance, ready or not,

    If you want to shake it up,
    If you want to feel so cool,
    Get down with them girls,
    Get down you dancing fool,

    Dance, get your hormones fired,
    Dance, we're dancing wired

    You're jiving feeling right,
    You're jiving in the crowd,
    You're dancing 'til you drop,

    Dance, if you're rich or poor,
    Dance, can't take no more


    How could I ever have forgotten this little ditty, BE?
    You've changed your place in this world!
  • Ah dang, ef? Now you gone an' done it! Now I'm thinking about one of my favorite dancing songs that ties into another one of my favorite laughable songs and they is by Mr. Funnyman himself, Frank Zappa! The man has a way with words! :D


    Dancin' Fool
    ----

    Don't know much about dancin'
    That's why I got this song
    One of my legs is shorter than the other
    'N' both my feet's too long
    'Course now right along with 'em
    I got no natural rhythm
    But I go dancin' every night
    Hopin' one day I might get it right
    I'm a dancin' fool, I'm a
    Dancin' fool
    I hear that beat; I jump outa my seat,
    But I can't compete, 'cause I'm a
    Dancin' fool, I'm a
    Dancin' fool

    The disco folks all dressed up
    Like they's fit to kill
    I walk on in 'n' see 'em there
    Gonna give them all a thrill
    When they see me comin'
    They all steps aside
    They has a fit while I commit
    My social suicide, I'm a
    Dancin' fool, I'm a
    Dancin' fool
    The beat goes on
    And I'm so wrong
    The beat goes on
    And I'm so wrong
    The beat goes on 'n' I'm so wrong
    The beat goes on 'n' I'm so wrong
    The beat goes on 'n' I'm so wrong
    I may be totally wrong, but I'm a
    Dancin' fool, I'm a
    Dancin' fool
    *Youwsa, youwsa, youwsa*
    I got it all together now
    With my very own disco clothes, hey!
    My shirt's half open, t'show you my chains
    'N' the spoon for up my nose
    I am really somethin'
    That's what you'd prob'ly say
    So smoke your little smoke
    Drink your little drink
    While I dance the night away, I'm a
    Dancin' fool, I'm a
    Dancin' fool, (etc., etc.)


    I may be totally wrong, but I'm a
    I may be totally wrong, but I'm a
    I may be totally wrong, but I'm a
    FOOL-uh!

    *Hey darlin'...can I buy ya a drink?*
    *Lookin' for Mister Goodbar? Here he is...*
    *Wait a minute...I've got it...You're an Italian!*
    *Hah?*
    *Yer Jewish?*
    *Love your nails...you must be a Libra...*
    *Your place or mine?*

    Jewish Princess


    I want a nasty little Jewish Princess
    With long phony nails and a hairdo that rinses
    A horny little Jewish Princess
    With a garlic aroma that could level Tacoma
    Lonely inside
    Well, she can swallow my pride

    I want a hairy little Jewish Princess
    With a brand new nose, who knows where it goes
    I want a steamy little Jewish Princess
    With over-worked gums, who squeaks when she cums
    I don't want no troll
    I just want a Yemenite hole

    I want a darling little Jewish Princess
    Who don't know shit about cooking and is arrogant looking
    A vicious little Jewish Princess
    To specifically happen with a pee-pee that's snappin'
    All up inside
    I just want a Princess to ride
    *Awright, back to the top...everybody twist*

    I want a funky little Jewish Princess
    A grinder; a bumper, with a pre-moistened dumper
    A brazen little Jewish Princess
    With titanic tits, and sand-blasted zits
    She can even be poor
    So long as she does it with four on the floor
    (Vapor-lock)

    I want a dainty little Jewish Princess
    With a couple of sisters who can raise a few blisters
    A fragile little Jewish Princess
    With Roumanian thighs, who weasels 'n' lies
    For two or three nights
    Won't someone send me a Princess who bites
    Won't someone send me a Princess who bites
    Won't someone send me a Princess who bites
    Won't someone send me a Princess who bites



    LMFAO! Frank rules! What a joker! :D RIP!

    ps. Thank you of_the_girl! What a sweet thing to say! :)

    pss. Ugh! Motorhead! :p

    Don't Forget To Dance - Kinks

    You look out of your window,
    Into the night.
    Could be rain, could be snow,
    But it can’t feel as cold as you’re feeling inside.

    And all of you friends are either married, vanished,
    Or just left alone.
    But that’s no reason to just stop living.
    That’s no excuse to just give in to a sad and lonely heart.

    Don’t forget to dance, no, no, no,
    Don’t forget to smile.
    Don’t forget to dance, no, no, no,
    Forget it for a while.

    ’cause darling, darling,
    I bet you danced a good one in your time.
    And if this were a party
    I’d really make sure the next one would be mine.
    Yes, you with the broken heart.

    Don’t forget to dance, no, no, no,
    Don’t forget to smile.
    Don’t forget to dance, no, no, no,
    Forget it for a while.

    Don’t forget to dance, no, no, no,
    Forget it for a while.

    You walk down the street
    And all the young punks whistle at you.
    A nice bit of old,
    Just goes to show what you can achieve
    With the right attitude.
    As you pass them by
    They whisper their remarks one to another,
    And you give them the eye
    Even that you know that you could be their mother.
    You do the thing you love the most.
    What separates you from the rest,
    And what you love to do the most?
    And when they ask me how you dance,
    I say that you dance real close.

    Don’t forget to dance, no, no, no,
    Don’t forget to dance.

    One of my all time faves by the Davies boys and their friends!!!
    You've changed your place in this world!

    In the desert
    around the fire

    In the night
    made of desire

    I shalll put the Black veil
    down on the sand

    And dance for you
    till the time's end
    I can't be free with what's locked inside of me...
  • The black sands of your sins
    Blowing away with the winds

    Leaving you naked and raw
    Revealing every perfect flaw

    You wear your heartbreak like a healing scar, for all to see

    As you remove the veils
    Your spirit takes to its sails

    Set adrift on unsure seas
    Feeling peace and tranquility

    You wear your love like a child's genuine smile, for all to see

    I'd lay petals at your feet
    So as to soften the street

    And marvel at the sight
    Of your motions on this night

    You wear yourself like a jewelled crown, sparkling, for all to see

    An honour, indeed, if you were to dance for me, for all eternity

    :)




    I thank you, BlackSin for your poetic verse in this here thread! It has inspired me! :) And yes, ef?, diggin' those Kinks! :D

    How could I not come and share a dance with two my favorites.


    Dancing In The Starlight

    I was tossing and a turning
    Like as ship out in the storm
    And I could not feel the spirit
    There was nothing there at all
    And I could not dial the number
    And I could not make the call

    Dancing in the starlight
    Dancing in the strangest forms
    And I could not feel the spirit
    Was a thousand miles off course

    Stumbling in the twilight
    There was no one there at all
    I was groping in the darkness
    Seeing dangers in the port
    Tortured into silence
    My back against the wall

    Dancing in the starlight
    Swirling in the walls
    Just like Venus on the ocean
    The figures on the wall

    If you don't take risks
    If you don't take a chance
    You're bound to fall
    Oh yeah sugar
    You will surely fall

    Crying for salvation
    There was nothing there at all
    I could not dial the number
    And I could not make the call

    Dancing in the starlight
    The figures on the wall
    You will surely fall
    Dancing in the starlight
    You will surely fall
    You will surely fall
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.
  • :)

    And here's one of my fave's, written by the late, great, Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy:

    Dancing In The Moonlight

    When I passed you in the doorway
    You took me with a glance
    I should have took that last bus home
    But I asked you for a dance

    Now we go steady to the pictures
    I always get chocolate stains on my pants
    My father he's going crazy
    Say's I'm living in a trance

    But I'm dancing in the moonlight
    It's caught me in its spotlight
    It's alright, alright
    Dancing in the moonlight
    On the long hot summer night

    It's three o'clock in the morning
    And I'm on the streets again
    I disobeyed another warning
    I should have been in by ten

    Now I won't get out until Sunday
    I'll have to say I stayed with friends
    But it's a habit worth forming
    If it means to justify the end





    Hee! Hee! "I always get chocolate stains on my pants"! :p;)

  • (I call this 'Dance for a Witch')

    I broke the laws of Salem
    I had danced once again
    ‘Possessed by the Devil’ they say
    They’ll put me to a rope for him

    But it was really worth it, dancing in the woods
    Joy and freedom around me
    But now they’ll put me down for good…
    For this great sin…

    They slip the rope around my neck
    The knot sits in front of me
    They ask for final words
    I told them, “from this rope, I dance again”

    They kicked the barrel out
    I am suspended from my chin
    As I promised them with final words
    I had began to dance again

    The rope kept getting tighter
    As my movements slowed a bit
    I danced and danced, it made me proud
    I danced ‘till my end
    Chasing a trail of smoke and reason.

  • Let's Dance - David Bowie

    Let's dance
    Let's dance

    Let's dance, put on your red shoes and dance the blues
    Let's dance, to the song they're playin' on the radio

    Let's sway, while colour lights up your face
    Let's sway, sway through the crowd to an empty space

    If you say run, I'll run with you
    And if you say hide, we'll hide
    Because my love for you
    Would break my heart in two
    If you should fall
    Into my arms
    And tremble like a flower

    Let's dance
    Let's dance

    Let's dance, for fear your grace should fall
    Let's dance, for fear tonight is all

    Let's sway, you could look into my eyes
    Let's sway, under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

    And if you say run, I'll run with you
    And if you say hide, we'll hide
    Because my love for you
    Would break my heart in two
    If you should fall
    Into my arms
    And tremble like a flower

    Let's dance
    Let's dance

    Let's dance, put on your red shoes and dance the blues
