I'm gonna learn how to dance
Yeah i'm gonna learn how to dance
I reckon i could be pretty good
If you just give me half a chance
Now i know i ain't charlie chaplin
And i'm not in like flynn with the romance
And it's a dirty job but someones gotta do it
So i'm gonna learn how to dance
I just got outta school
Yeah i just got outta school
Gonna go and act like a grown up
Get me attached to some bar stool
I got job in a factory making a trajectory
To aim at some poor fool
Yes and i know what a plutocracy is
Cos just got outta school
Now i'm gonna get my brains washed
Have to go and get my brains washed
I just tried to pay the cost of living
And it's a lot more than my lifes worth
You see it takes a lot of hard working people
Just to keep one rich man well of
And some times i get some filthy thoughts
So i'm gonna go and get my brains washed
Yes i'm gonna get some restraint
Learn to tolerate and wait
Rome wasn't built in a day
The damn building permit got delayed
Now some people say the best has already happened
And it just wasn't all that great
On the other hand as usual i reckon
The revolution is late
So i'm gonna learn how to dance
Yeah we're all gonna learn how to dance
I know youse ain't debonair like astaire
And ginger rodgers with the romance
But i can hear the band playing someone else's song
And iv'e already got my strings attached
Like i said it's dirty job
So a man will have to do it
And i'm gonna learn how to dance
I'm gonna learn how to dance
Look at me soft shoe two steppin
Hip hopping down the street
Bloke could've been a ballerina
High steppin pirouetting
I'm gonna learn how to dance
