Refrain: Dance, then, wherever you may be; I am the Lord of the Dance, said he, I'll lead you all, wherever you may be, And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he. 2 I danced for the scribe and the pharisee, But they would not dance, and they wouldn't follow me; I danced for the fishermen, for James and for John; They came with me and the dance went on.
