I was a dancer before I was born
And with my first breath my sentence was drawn
I was a dancer before I could walk
I whirled around blindfolded until I touched the boards
To the left, to the right
To the left, to the right
D-D-D-Dancer, Dancer!
I was a dancer before I could speak
And then I first spelled the strong and the weak
I was a dancer before I was sold
The best time to buy is when the riots take hold
To the left, to the right
To the left, to the right
D-D-D-Dancer, Dancer!
So you think you come dancing like no one has danced before?
I was a dancer for the king and the queen
And through a back door I let the fleets in
This time I win
