[Refrain] 3 I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame; The holy people said it was a shame. They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high, And left me there on a cross to die. [Refrain] 4 I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black; It’s hard to dance with the devil on your back. They buried my body and they thought I’d gone; But I am the dance and I still go on.
