Once upon a time I pressed rewind Two left feet, I had no beat Baby in the corner learning quick Keep up, keep up, keep up Graduation take a bow See how strong you've made me now Two steppin' all over me, then cha cha cha cha I'm in! Oh don't it make your heart go wow Oh how I've turned this whole thing round L.O.V.E Dance to the beat of my drum Dance to the beat of my drum L.O.V.E Dance to the beat of my drum Dance to the beat of my drum Leader of the pack get on that track Swing your back and don't look back Captain attending, too much to handle Too hot, the pan goes pop Blow your trumpet like you do I put on my marchin' boots I know we can work it out Let's step into the groove Oh don't it make your heart go wow Oh how I've turned this whole thing round L.O.V.E Dance to the beat of my drum Dance to the beat of my drum L.O.V.E Dance to the beat of my drum Dance to the beat of my drum L.O.V.E Dance to the beat of my drum Dance to the beat of my drum L.O.V.E Dance to the beat of my drum Dance to the beat of my drum
