Dance If You Want To
Disclaimer: I don't own TDI or Safety Dance.
"Come on, guys, I'm not a klutz."
"Tyler, you landed on a buoy during the cliff diving challenge, tied yourself up with a yo-yo, and failed to hit a single Gopher player during the dodgeball game."
"Let's face it," Noah chimed in, glancing up from his book. "I doubt you can even dance."
"Oh, really," sneered the jock.
"Yeah, I really don't think you can dance."
"I can dance if I want to," Tyler huffed.
"I can leave your friends behind.
"Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance.
Well, they're no friends of mine."
Over by the music player, Cody hastily hit the PLAY button. As the music started playing, Tyler grabbed a nearby marker, and started singing.
"S-S A-A F-F E-E T-T Y-Y SAFETY DANCE!
We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance,
Well, they're no friends of mine.
I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind.
And we can dance."
"Danc^e?"
Tyler nodded at Lindsay, and continued singing, climbing onto the table as he did so.
"We can go when we want to
Night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat
From our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry.
Say, we can act if we want to
If we don't, nobody will
And you can act real rude
And totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile."
At this point, Cody, Harold, and Lindsay joined in.
"We can dance
We can dance
Everything's outta control
We can dance
We can dance
We're doin' it from wall to wall
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody's takin' the cha-a-a-ance.
Safety dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance"
By this time, those who weren't singing were definitely staring. Even Katie and Sadie had stopped fawning over Justin and were watching.
"We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it
Never gonna lose it
Everything will work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance
And if they don't dance,
Well, they're no friends of mine.
"We can dance
We can dance
Everything's outta control
We can dance
We can dance
We're doin' it from wall to wall
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody's takin' the cha-a-a-ance.
Safety dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance
Is it safe to dance
It's safe to dance!"
Stepping off the table, Tyler took a bow as the other guests at Playa de Losers clapped.
"Well," Noah commented. "I guess he can dance."
