Original

Look at me, I can dance so gracefully
Gotta have some rhythm just to make the scene
Just feel the beat, hear it in your head
Moving to your middle, ending at your feet

Anyone can dance
Anyone can do it
Follow my lead
'Cause there ain't nothing to it

Starts with a swivel, swivelin' free
It's the balance in your hips that's key
Take your arms, wave them in the air
Keep yourself from falling and you'll glide without a care

Anyone can dance
Anyone can do it
Follow my lead
'Cause there ain't nothing to it

You're gonna need style and personality
To give you individu-viduality
Don't be afraid to move the way you want to move
Trust yourself and you will find your groove

Anyone can dance
Anyone can do it
Follow my lead
'Cause there ain't nothing to it!
Anyone can dance
Anyone can do it
Follow my lead
'Cause there ain't nothing to it

Look at me, I can dance so gracefully
Gotta have some rhythm just to make the scene
Just feel the beat, hear it in your head
Movin' to your middle, ending at your feet

Anyone can do it
Anyone can dance
My moves'll hypnotize you
Put you in a trance

Can't you see, coordination is the key
It's my balance that takes hold of me
Take your arms, wave them in the air
Keep yourself from fallin' and you'll glide without a care

Anyone can do it
Anyone can dance
My moves'll hypnotize you
Put you in a trance

You're gonna need style and personality
To give you individuality
Don't be afraid to move the way you wanna move
Trust yourself and you will find your groove

Anyone can do it
Anyone can dance
My moves'll hypnotize you
Put you in a trance
Anyone can do it
Anyone can dance
My moves'll hypnotize you
Put you in a trance
