I'm dancing as fast as I can

I'm dancing as fast as I can

One man band

Tap dancing to a mass media melody

Line dance

Catch the beat

Catch the rhythm

Given in boardrooms

Marble bathrooms with gold faucets

I'm dancing as fast as I can

A shuffle mixed with a Harlem hustle

Look at my soft shoe routine

Minstrel man cooning

For the man

I'm dancing as fast as I can

A clown for post dated checks

Millionaires slave grinning for billionaires

Blackface Bojangles perform back alley abortions on history books

Keep dancing darkie

To a beat implanted 400 years ago

A sound found underground

In plantations hanging noose emancipation

Borne dancers dance with no floor underneath dangling feet

Dance nigg@ dance...
