Lyrics for Take Your Clothes Off When You Dance

There will come a time when everybody Who is lonely will be free . . . TO SING & DANCE & LOVE There will come a time when every evil That we know will be an evil . . . THAT WE CAN RISE ABOVE Who cares if hair is long or short Or sprayed or partly grayed . . . WE KNOW THAT HAIR AIN'T WHERE IT'S AT (There will come a time when you won't even be ashamed if you are fat!) WAH WAH-WAH WAH La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la (a-a-ah!) La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la (oo-wee-ooh!) Diddle-diddle-dee (Diddle-diddle-dee) Diddle-diddle-dee (Diddle-diddle-dee) Diddle-diddle-dee (Diddle-diddle-dee) Diddle-diddle-dee (Diddle-diddle-dee) La la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la WAH WAH-WAH WAH There will come a time when everybody Who is lonely will be free . . . TO SING & DANCE & LOVE (dance and love) There will come a time when every evil That we know will be an evil . . . THAT WE CAN RISE ABOVE (rise above) Who cares if you're so poor you can't afford To buy a pair of Mod A Go-Go stretch-elastic pants . . . THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN YOU CAN EVEN TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF WHEN YOU DANCE
