| 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
|
