He Black Plague's lurking everywhere
It started out in a little town
People dancing all around
They didn't know, but in the air
The Black Plague's lurking everywhere
The rats are sneaky, spreading fast
Watch your back, it might not last
They try to run, they try to hide
But no one can escape its ride
Oh, oh, you better move
Shake it off, and find your groove
Cover your mouth, don't catch that sneeze
Dance away the germs with ease
Dance, dance, dance the Black Plague away
Shake, shake, shake, it's here to stay
Move, move, move, keep those germs at bay
Laugh and sing, we'll be okay
Spin around, and tap your feet
Dance all night in the crowded street
Dance, dance, dance the Black Plague away
Keep on grooving, don't decay
Doctors come with masks of beaks
Waving herbs like they're mystique
"Keep the plague at bay," they say
But we just laugh and dance all day
The bells are ringing, people flee
But we keep dancing, wild and free
From the village to the square
We'll dance like we just don't care
Oh, oh, the rats are here
Shake your body, lose your fear
Keep on moving, keep it tight
Dance until the morning light
Dance, dance, dance the Black Plague away
Shake, shake, shake, it's here to stay
Move, move, move, keep those germs at bay
Laugh and sing, we'll be okay
Spin around, and tap your feet
Dance all night in the crowded street
Dance, dance, dance the Black Plague away
Keep on grooving, don't decay
Spin and twirl, let out a cheer
Dance away the medieval fear
Find the rhythm in the gloom
Keep on grooving, avoid the doom
Dance, dance, dance the Black Plague away
Shake, shake, shake, it's here to stay
Move, move, move, keep those germs at bay
Laugh and sing, we'll be okay
Spin around, and tap your feet
Dance all night in the crowded street
Dance, dance, dance the Black Plague away
Keep on grooving, don't decay
Dance, dance, till the break of day
Move your body, make it sway
Shake, shake, laugh and play
We'll dance the Black Plague blues away
