"Dance At A Funeral" lyrics

"Dance At A Funeral"

It's inappropriate to dance a t a funeral
But I can't help it
These funky feet cannot lie
Would you like to polygraph my feet?
And I know, it's a Faux Pas to groove a little cha-cha
Cha-cha. Ooh-la-la
At a memorial
But I can't help it

If I don't dance, I might cry
Tears on the dance floor

Mamma told me, "It's a sad sad day."
"But I promise: given time, all things will be OK."
"When you speak after the sermon, speak from your heart and, please, try not to make another dance-floor start."

Will you try?
Yes
Will you try hard?
No

It's inappropriate to dance at a funeral
When they're playing the sad slideshow
I hear 'em crying, but it sounds like "Uh, uh, uh, uh"
Staying Alive
It's unforgivable, unforgivable
To bust a red hot mambo
I'm about to bust
But if I don't, I'll explode
I'll have to do it on the down low

Don't draw attention now
Keep calm
Keep it
The funky mourning
Keep it on the down low
Yeah
Don't judge me
This' just how I metabolize grief
