lyrics

ALEX: Hi there!
DR: Hi...

AL: Is there anything you really want to do?

DR: Ohhh, I don't know....no one has really ever asked me that before, but…I really like to sing?


AL: You do?
DR: Yeah!
AL: Wow! Hey!
DR: What? [song starts]
AL: Why don't you sing for us?
DR: Ahhhh... I don't know…ok!

DR: This age of specialized speciality,
Has become too much a part of our mentality!
AL: This age of specialized speciality,
Has become too much a part of our mentality?
DR: Yep.
ALEX: Wow, that is so true.
DR: I know...

DR: Sometimes we forget the things that make us human beings,
Lost in reflections of our own computer screens!
AL: Sometimes we get lost in the reflections of our own computer screens?
DR: Yeah...
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!

[Clavinet groove starts]

DR: Clap your hands!
AL: Yes, clap your hands!
DR: Shake your can!
AL: Yes, shake your can!

DR: Ok, now everybody, do exactly as I say!

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!
