I danced in the morning when the game was begun,
And I danced round the board and I ordered lots of FUN,
And I came down the conveyor and touched the repair,
At Checkpoint one I had my birth.

Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Dance Commander, said he.
And I’ll lead you all through phases two and three,
And I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he.

I danced for the Trundle Bot and Twonky,
But they had bad cards and they could not follow me;
I danced for the Squash Bot and the Hammer Bot;
They lasered me and the dance went on.

Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Dance Commander, said he.
And I’ll deal you all nothing but forward three,
And I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he.

I moonwalked around a pit to make my name,
For Dance Dance Robolution was my game;
I kicked and I shimmied and I grabbed my crotch;
And I pumped up the volume to the 'leventh notch.

Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Dance Commander, said he.
And I’ll power down when my cards number three,
And I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he.

I reached the conveyor and the sky turned black;
It’s hard to nop when you're going round the track;
I was heading pitwards and they thought I’d gone,
But I am the dance and I still go on.

Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Dance Commander, said he.
And I’ll beat you all to checkpoint number three,
And I’ll lead you all in the dance, said he.

I checked out an archive and I leapt up high,
I am the dance that’ll never, never die;
I’ll dance with you if you’ll dance with me;
I am the Dance Commander, said he.
