Trying so hard
To keep up with the Joneses
Running a rat
Racing won by our noses
Always put one foot
In front of the other
And dance to the beat
Of the decadent drummer

Just buy a brand new
Pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top
Never gonna stop
It's the same old song and
One, two, three n' dec-a-dance

Dance dance
Dance dance
Dancing to the decadence
Dance dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence
Dance, dance, dance

It's hard to stop
Once the music gets started
'til the souls of your feet
Harden up like your heart did
Stepping in line
With the sign of the timer
Seduced by the tune
Of the decadent dancer
