Men Without Hats
The Safety Dance
Rhythm Of Youth (1982)

C  x 4  w/ mélodie (sus4)
 
C
We can dance if we want to
       B♭                   F
We can leave your friends behind
           F                       B♭
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
             C               G
Well they're   no friends of mine

I say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

             {F        B♭    E♭  Ab}  x 2
  And we can dance (dansez)
 
We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry

Say, we can act if want to
If we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile
 
  I say, we can dance, we can dance, everything's out of control
  We can dance, we can dance, we're doing it from pole to pole
  We can dance, we can dance, everybody look at your hands
  We can dance, we can dance, everybody takin' the cha-

        C(sus4)  G              D(sus4)  A
    a-a-ance       it's safe to dance
    Oh well it's safe to dance, yes it's safe to dance
 
C(sus4)  x 4  / / / / / c

We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right

I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
 
  Refrain

    a-a-ance, it's safe to dance
    Yes it's safe to dance, well it's safe to dance
    Well it's safe to dance *ah*, well it's safe to dance
    Yes it's safe to dance heh, well it's safe to dance

                  C(sus4)
    It's a safety dance, oh it's a safety dance
    Well it's a safety dance, oh it's a safety dance
                       xxxxx
    Well it's a safety dance
