the band played
no one moved
they could not find the groove
i knew that wouldn't last
someone had to act fast
i took the mic for a moment
that's when i sang
this is no talent show
and the floor is ready to go
i know you want to dance
so come on while we have a chance
all i heard was a cough
i started to walk off
then people wanted more
as they all rushed the floor
i told the band to follow
that's when i sang
