The document is lyrics to a song that encourages dancing in many different contexts and situations. It tells the reader to dance in times of sorrow and fun, with family and friends, regardless of physical attributes, and to find joy through dancing throughout one's whole life. The chorus repeats a call to "come dance with me."

2. Dance in the moonlight and dance in the sun, Dance in your sorrow and dance in your fun. Dance in your discos and dance in your briefs, Dance in your doubtings and dance your beliefs,

3. AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME, A-HA, AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME.

4. Dance with your baby, your dog or your boss, Dance to the manger and dance to the cross. Dance at the graveside and dance at the feast, Dance with the midwives and the other high priests,

5. AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME, A-HA, AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME.

6. Dance with the debs with the sweat on their palms, Dance where it's hardest: homecomings and proms. Did somebody say that you'd never be queen, Send them our way and we'll paint their nose green,

7. AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME, A-HA, AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME.

8. Tall people are gorgeous and short ones are neat, Skinny or bulgy, each body's a treat. So dance as you are you were made by the One Who calls you to be what you've only begun,

9. AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME, A-HA, AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME.

10. Dance with your elbows and dance with your hands, Dance with your heart and your endocrine glands. Make funny faces go out of your minds, Find someone near you and bump your behinds,

11. AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME, A-HA, AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME.

12. Dance up from childhood and into your teens, Dance through your screw-ups and dance in your dreams. Come join the dancing, you make it complete, We'll hug you and kiss you and step on your feet,

13. AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME, A-HA, AND WE'LL DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, COME DANCING WITH ME.
