Let's Dance

Tonight I am going dancing. Well I'm going to a club, but I'm actually going to dance.No hugging the wall for this sista. No scanning the room waiting for the one to ask me. The thing about me is I don't need a partner to get my groove on. I need a beat. I don't have time to sit around and wait.I'm not holding any pocketbooks. My girls think I'm crazy but, if I wanted to sit and watch other people dance I could stay home and watch Soultrain.

I can smell the rain though. When it rains my knees act a fool. I may be two-stepping but I'll be moving. I will never understand all that preparation to sit in a chair all night. Back in the day I never sat down. For one, there was no where to sit in those crowded house parties. And two, I didn't have much time. I had a twelve o'clock curfew so I had to get as much partying in as possible. I'd dance alone, with a partner, my girls, it didn't matter. If I danced alone nobody thought it was strange.

We had the dances to master. I didn't do the alligator though. There was too much dirty in that dance for me. Never did the break dancing thing either. We had a good time. Isn't that the point? You go out with your peeps and have a good time. Relax,cut-up a little bit. I see some mean looks when I go out, just angry. Why be there if you have to look that way? I want to ask "What's the matter honey? Are your shoes too tight?"

They won't steal my joy though. I'm going to dance until my knees say, I better sit down. Then I'll chair dance. Hopefully these people will get up for something besides the electric slide . It's Friday y'all!, put on your red shoes and Dance!,Dance!,Dance!
