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 rhythm....and 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 huh....and rhyme.
A dancin' man
A dancin' man
A dancin' man
With footsteps on the sands
Of rhythm
Pow!...and rhyme.
On the sands of time
All time!
On the sands of time
All time!
On the sands of time
All time!
