You can dance if you want to
Dance with us at the weekends
But your friends might see, and if your friends see, well they
Might be ex-friends
‘Cause… what we dance is the Morris
A tradition long and proud
And we can all get our kicks from dancing with sticks
But we don’t say that out loud

(Silly dance!) Oh yeah!

Strap some bells to your ankles
Wear your pants above the knee
And now you look just grand, really can’t understand
Why nobody takes us seriously
Now… take the rags from your pockets
Show you what we do with those
We wave them in the air as if we couldn’t care
So never use them to blow your nose

So…see us dance, silly dance
You should come give it a try
Yes we dance, silly dance
Wave your dignity goodbye
We will dance, silly dance
Don’t you ever call us buffoons
We’ll just dance, silly dance
Whack you on the head with balloons… ooooh

Silly dance
What a silly dance
It’s a silly dance

Never thought you would see it
Freely done by grown adults
It’s got a certain charm we don’t do any harm
In happy little dance-y cults
Y’see… we all dance ‘cause we want to
Not embarrassed or afraid
And if you just don’t get it, well we don’t let it -
Rain on our parade

And so… we will dance, silly dance
Jumping and prancing around
Yes we dance, silly dance
Making our jingly sound
Watch us dance, silly dance
Beating up the fella in black
As we dance, silly dance
Synchronised Morris attack! Ahhhhh…

It’s a silly dance
So let’s silly dance
And give it a chance
It’s our silly dance – oh!
We’re gonna take a stance
Gonna silly dance – yeah!
We’ll leap and prance
In silly pants
It’s our last chance
To do a silly dance
Go on, silly dance
Our silly dance!
