I wanna be a dancin' man,
While I can,
Gonna leave my footsteps on the sands of time,
If I never leave a dime
Never be a millionaire,
I don't care,
I'll be rich as old King Midas might have been
Least until the tide rolls in
Let other men build the mighty nations,
Or stairways to the sky,
I'll leave a few creations
To show that I was a dancin' by

I wanna be free as any bird can be, yes siree,
I wanna leave my footsteps on the sands of time,
If I never leave a dime, dime
A dancin' man
With footsteps
On the sands
Of rhythmand rhyme

I wanna be a dancin' man,
While I can,
Gonna leave my footsteps on the sands of time,
If I never leave a dime
Never be a millionaire,
I don't care,
I'll be rich as old King Midas,
Midas might have been
Least until the tide rolls in

Let other men build the mighty nations,
Or stairways to the sky,
I'll leave a few creations
To show that I was a dancin' by,

I wanna be free as any bird can be, yes siree,
I wanna leave my footsteps on the sands of time,
If I never leave a dime
To show that I was a dancin' by
I wanna leave my footsteps on the sands of time
A dancin' man
Of rhythm
Ha huhand rhyme

A dancin' man
With footsteps on the sands
Of rhythm
Pow!and rhyme
