Words and music by Eric Gant, Timothy H. Patton, and Steve J. Holland

lyrics

You can jam a funky bass line.
You can play a song in swing time.
You can make a sound as sweet as angels.
You can write a symphony sublime.
You can make the rafters rattle,
But can you make the sisters do that grind?

Chorus:
Can you dance?
Can you dance?
Can you dance to it?
Can you dance?
Can you dance?
Can you dance to it?

You might hold the beat down like a clock.
You might rip an organ reel like Bach.
You might blow a tune as tight as Coltraine.
You might make a guitar learn to talk.
You might hit that wah-wah pedal,
But can you get those butts to sway and rock?

Chorus

So thump that bass, and take a chance.
Bring that guitar player out of his trance.
It's all about the people movin',
And sometimes they clap their hands.
You can make a lot of racket,
But will you bring the people up to dance?

Chorus
