AL: Wow, that makes me want to sing too. DR: Okay! BOTH: Is it only those who study Astronomy who look up and see the beauty of the stars? Do we need a degree in cellular biology, just to stop and smell the flowers? AL: Wow, this is fun. DR: I know, right? Let's sing!! BOTH:Dancing is not just for dancers. Just like singing is not just for robots. 'Cause we're so much more than simply Eating, sleeping, working machines. There's a light inside that's burning, Burning to be seen!

Shake it to the left, shake it to the right! Shake it like a raccoon in the middle of the night! Shake it standing up, shake it in the air Shake it all around, [like] you're a millionaire! BOTH:Dancing is not just for dancers. Just like singing is not just for robots! DR: Come on, everybody! Let's make a conga line! Follow me!! There's a light inside that's burning, AL: Waiting to be seen! BOTH:Dancing is not just for dancers. [robot echo] Just like singing is not just for robots. [robot echo] 'Cause we're so much more than simply Eating, sleeping, working machines. There's a light inside that's burning, DR: Burning to be seen!
