Em                           B7
I got a friend who loves the music
He got a red hot groove
But he don't use it
I get so afraid, he's gonna lose it
If you gotta gift - man, don't abuse it

Chorus:
         Em   B7
Keep on dancing
         Em   B7
Keep on dancing
         Em   B7
Keep on dancing
         Em   B7
Keep on dancing

Em                    B7
The experts say they really care
They don't have a clue what's out there
The teachers tell the children not to swear

          Am
And the drunken lawyes
            Bm
Leaves the kid
                 C
To pop something in
             D
To kill the fear...
          Em B7
it's not fair

Chorus

         Am   D
Keep on dancing - x4

I'm a frightened Dad, worried sick
Hear what I say?
I could put something in here
You know what rhymes with it
The whole world seems to end
In c.k.e.d
You ain't fooling me anyway
Keep on dancing

Are you ready here comes
Steve Gadd

Chorus

         Am   D
Keep on dancing - x4

See em run for the books, cos
They just don't get it
They throw it at me
But I've already read it
Before they speak
Some-one already said it

We can't be friends
Cos Karl Marx don't rhyme
With Mercedez-Benz
I need credit
You can shove it
You know why?
'Cos I love it!

Chorus
