Four scores and yesterdays

And way back when, just to begin, my friends

There was music in the air, somewhere

For those who wanted to sigh and even grin

Music for the soul so sweet

Relaxed their minds and moved their feet

And kicked off a beat



And they were dancin'

I said, they were prancin'

Whoa-whoa

They were dancin'

I said, they were prancin'



People started everywhere

To dig the sound and act a clown for you

While others sat back in deep thought

Not knowing what to do

It was really hard to accept

And some minds were blown along with the rest I know

And when it grew louder

Some folks got up and said they had to go

The music grabbed them by the hands

And snapped their fingers and then they dug the band

They tried to run, but that's where the fun begun



They were dancin'

They were prancin'

I said, they were dancin'

They were prancin'



Dancin'

Prancin'

Dancin'

They were prancin'



I said, they were dancin'

They were prancin'

Dancin'

Prancin'...
