All lyrics by Bernard Edwards & Nile Rodgers of the CHIC org. - Chic 1977
DANCE, DANCE, DANCE YOU CAN GET BY EVERYBODY DANCE
Dance dance dance dance
Keep on dancin'
Dance dance dance dance
 
This dancin' to the beat
Feel the beat, I'm movin' my feet
 
Headed t'wards the floor
Gotta get down, get down some more
 
(*) Rhumba, tango, Latin hustle too
Yowsah, yowsah, yowsah
I wanna boogie with you
 
(**) Ooh what a treat
Feels so sweet, ah, that body heat
When I'm dancin' with my baby
Drives me crazy, makes me hazy
 
(* repeat)
 
Dance dance dance dance
(repeat 4 times)
 
(***) Dance dance dance dance
Keep on, keep on
 
Dance dance dance dance
Keep on dancin'
Dance dance dance dance
Keep on, keep on
Dance dance dance dance
 
(*** repeat 2 times)
(** repeat)
(* repeat)
(*** repeat)
 
Dance dance dance dance
(repeat 4 times)
(*) You can get by if you try
 
You can get by if you try
 
Somewhere in the city
There's someone for you
Maybe in some doorway
You know love begins there too
 
I know it's a pity
To be so all alone
The bed seems so empty
And not a ring from the phone
 
(* repeat 2 times)
 
You may not be pretty
 
Oh but you can be, you know
Take off those shabby clothes, girl
And let your beauty show
Make yourself a lovely woman
And get yourself a man
Then you will be happy
You can do it, yes you can, hey hey
 
(* repeat 4 times)
 
(* repeat and fade)
(*) Everybody dance, do do do do
Clap your hands, clap your hands
 
(* repeat 3 times)
 
Music never lets you down
Keeps a smile on your face
Any time, any place
 
Dancin' helps relieve the pain
 
Soothes your mind
 
Makes you happy again
Listen to those dancin' feet
Close your eyes and let go
But it don't mean a thing
 
If it ain't got that swing
 
(* repeat 4 times)
 
Spin me all around the floor
Just like Rogers and Astaire
 
Hoof all night without a care
Struttin' to our favourite tune
Oh the time always ends too soon
Everybody's dancin'
Let your feet have some fun
Come on, everybody, get on your feet
 
Clap your hands
Everybody's screamin'
 
(* repeat 8 times)
 
(* repeat and fade)
EST-CE QUE C'EST CHIC  FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU STRIKE UP THE BAND
(*) Est-ce que c'est chic
Ou simplement ordinaire
 
Est-ce que c'est chic chic
 
Être .
Est-ce que c'est chic
Ou simplement ordinaire
 
Est-ce que c'est chic chic
 
Won't get far
Hangin' at the local bar
 
Will she ever be a star
And ride around in a fancy car
 
And buy expensive things
Like furs and diamond rings
 
All alone she lives her life
In the midst of us
 
She can't believe her eyes
All the rest of her
 
(**) And it's the little things
She says to me
Makes me think the girl's
In need of a family
 
(* repeat)
 
It's really strange
Everytime I hear her name
Will she always be the same
Just spendin' life in search of fame
You should see the girl
She's such a crazy thing
Every night it's the same old dream
Rehearsing lines for tomorrow's scenes
But it's real in the morning babe
 
(** repeat)
(* repeat and fade)
I think of you, honey, night and day
 
And it's your sweet lovin'
 
That makes me feel this way
I'm not ashamed, oh no not me
 
Everyone should know
This is how love should be
 
(*) And now that I've given you my heart
Please be gentle, baby
When the lovin' starts, cause
 
(**) Falling in love with you
It's all I want to do
Falling in love with you tonight
Falling in love with you
It's all I want do
Tonight, tonight
 
I see your picture
I hear your name
 
I try to hide it, baby
But the feeling's still the same
 
I see your face, such a warm face
I wanna touch you
Or just feel your embrace
 
(* repeat)
(** repeat and fade)
(*) Strike up, up the band
Makin' music is our plan
Got to feel the rhythm if you can
Just want to strike up, up the band
 
(* repeat)
 
Got to feel the rhythm
Got to feel the rhythm
Got to feel the rhythm
 
(* repeat and fade)
