Liner Notes

#songsidekicksongcircle
I’m kicking off late as I had being away sbd connectivity issues. I posted the couple of simple songs I wrote while doing a cabaret show ( improvising accompaniments on piano what joy) and thos morning doing a bit of catching up. This took my interest to write a sing around the title line ‘ All she wants to do is dance’
Beware demo a bit rough

Lyrics

All she wants to do is dance

She got things to do
She got responsibility
She got head full a chores
She got mentality

That she must keep busy
She should work all day
No time for fun
No time to play

But
All she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
That is all
She wants to do
To move her body
In response to
Music

She got cats to feed
And things to buy
We all gotta eat
Or else we’d die

The shopping done
The list still there
Self care stuff
From teeth to hair

But

All she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
That is all
She wants to do
To move her body
In response to
Music

Music feeds her very soul
Come up through the bass
Music rhythm makes her whole
Give her time and place
And meaning
Gives connection
Body healing
Sense of purpose
In the moment
This is all
No need to comment

Cause

All she wants to do is dance
Yeah yeah yeah
All she wants to do is dance
And throw around her shiny hair

All she wants to do is dance
And thrash about to the funky beat
All she wants to do is dance
From her head down to her feet

Feel the cares just fade away
Let the body have its way
Wriggle jiggle writhe devotion
Feed them with ecstatic motion

That is all
She wants to do
To move her body
In response to
Music

All she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
That is all
She wants to do
To move her body
In response to
Music

She got weeds to cut
And gates to mend
And slugs and snails
To plant defend

And plates to wash
And put away
And mold and moss
To keep at bay

And chores galore
It never stops
And washing up
The endless pots

And surfaces
to wipe and disinfect
And loos to clean
What can we expect

Free time
Is that a thing ?
Me time?
To sing and sing

To be alive
To say hello
To all of this
Before it goes…

She knows
We all do…

All she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
All she wants to do is dance
That is all
She wants to do
To move her body
In response to
Music
