Last night at the research center
He thought he was alone when I saw him enter
At first it looked as though he had had an attack
He started shaking from his knees all the way to his back

Hoisting his hips, and sliding his sneakers
He almost knocked over a whole rack of beakers
But as he continued to move all around
Remarkable rhythms, without any sound

I thought

You dance like a scientist
Who's never been near the dance floor
You move like a scientist
Do it more! We want more!
A gyrating genius
Who's been stuck behind the research lab door
You dance like a scientist
Do it more! We want more!

He did the Einstein formula - Like a scientist
He did the Wave Equation - Like a scientist
He did the 2nd Law of Motion - Like a scientist
It took off across the nation - Like a scientist
He did the Fibonacci sequence - Like a scientist
He did the Schrodinger's Cat - Like a scientist
He did the Quadratic Boogie - Like a scientist
He said he liked it like that - Like a scientist

The moves he made were sophisticated
He paused to write them down right as they were created
It looked like a major breakthrough in dance
Like a cross between disco and stepping on ants

He spun and stomped in concentric circles
He finally stopped with a sudden jerk as
He screamed help me out, pointing down at the floor
Stop these deadly nanobots before they exit the door!

I said

You dance like a scientist
Who's never been near the dance floor
You move like a scientist
Do it more! We want more!
A gyrating genius
When survival is what science is for
You dance like a scientist
Do it more! We want more!

Don't stop dancing if you don't wanna die
Dance - Dance or Die
Those bugs are multiplying and I think you know why
Don't stop dancing if you don't wanna die
Dance - Dance or Die
You'd better keep on stepping if you want to survive
