I was all dressed up and ready to go
When I walked on down to pick up my beau...
But he said, "I don't want to dance, I don't want to dance, I don't want to dance"
I said, "It's ok. I can boogie on and you can stay
I've got my dancing shoes on and I'm ready to play
I'm going to swish and sway, it's going to make my day
Jump for joy, twist and twirl, hop and hip it, roll and rip it
Boogie on 'til the dawn breaks through"
Then a sadness clouded over me one day
And though your feet were flying, I couldn't help but say
"I don't want to dance, I don't want to dance"
But it's ok, though i don't want to dance, I want you to play
I'd never clip your wings to try and get you to stay
So fly. Fly away!
Jump for joy, twist and twirl, hop and hip it, roll and rip it
Boogie on 'til the dawn breaks through
'Cause we're wild things from an invisible source
And you know we come from a creative force
We go with the wind when we're caught in a storm
And settle back to earth when we're cosy and warm
Jump for joy, twist and twirl, hop and hip it, roll and rip it
Boogie on 'til the dawn breaks through
It's not time to tame, either others or ourselves
It's time to breathe in the breeze and be free
It's not time to tame, 'cause we're wild at heart
It's time to open and let loose and allow it to start
To be a part of our art
To be willing and fulfilling and outrageously kind
To be joyous and exploring and expanding the mind
It's not time to tame
'Cause we're wild things from an invisible source
And you know we come from a creative force
We go with the wind when we're caught in a storm
And settle back to earth when we're cosy and warm
Jump for joy, twist and twirl, hop and hip it, roll and rip it
Boogie on 'til the dawn breaks through
Boogie on, boogie on, play on 'til the dawn breaks through
