D.A.N.C.E. Lyrics
Do the D-A-N-C-E
One, two, three, four, fight!
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Get ready to ignite
You were such a P-Y-T
Catching all the lights
Just easy as A-B-C
That's how you make it right!
[Hook]
Do the D-A-N-C-E
One, two, three, four, fight!
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Get ready to ignite
You were such a P-Y-T
Catching all the lights
Just easy as A-B-C
That's how you make it right!
[Bridge]
Do the D-A-N-C-E
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Just easy as A-B-C
[Chorus]
Do the dance, do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Do the D-A-N-C-E
One, two, three, four, fight!
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Get ready to ignite
You were such a P-Y-T
Catching all the lights
Just easy as A-B-C
That's how you make it right!
[Chorus]
Do the dance, do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance, do the dance
You're always there for music and me
Do the dance, do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance, do the dance
You're always there for music and me
[Bridge]
Do the D-A-N-C-E
Do the dance, do the dance
Stick to the B-E-A-T
Do the dance, do the dance
You were such a P-Y-T
Do the dance, do the dance
Just easy as A-B-C
Do the dance, do the dance
Under the spotlight
Neither black nor white
It doesn't matter
Do the dance, do the dance
As strong as you might
Working day and night
Whatever happens
Do the dance, do the dance
Under the spotlight
Neither black nor white
It doesn't matter
Do the dance, do the dance
As strong as you might
Working day and night
Whatever happens
[Chorus]
Do the dance, do the dance
The way you move is a mystery
Do the dance
You're always there for music and me
[Outro]
The way you move is a mystery
About
The second single by Justice, and the first from their album †. It includes an edit and extended versions of “D.A.N.C.E”, a rougher mix in the style of their earlier releases, “B.E.A.T”, and the track “Phantom” which was previously issued in limited quantities twice on 12" vinyl preceding the release of “D.A.N.C.E.”.
According to the duo, they were huge Michael Jackson fans and therefore decided to dedicate this song to him. The song recites numerous Michael Jackson songs including “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)”, “Black or White”, “Workin' Day and Night”, and “Whatever Happens” along with the Jackson 5 song “ABC” and Michael Jackson’s album Music and Me. The intro of the song contains a sample the outro of Britney Spears' and Madonna’s “Me Against the Music”. Vocals are provided by the London based Foundation for Young Musicians choir. Swizz Beats sampled the song for “On to the Next One”, from Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 album.
