"Francis!
 Francis! Be careful!"

 Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses [bad word] a rat racing won by our noses
 Always put one foot in front of the other
 And dance to the beat of the dacadent [bad word] 
 Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
 Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
 It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance

 Dance, dance
 Dance, dance
 Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
 Everybody decadancing
 Dancing to the decadence
 Dancing to the decadence dance

 It's hard to stop once the music gets started
 'Til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did 
 Stepping in line with the sign of the timer
 Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer

 Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
 Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
 It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance

 Dance, dance
 Dance, dance
 Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
 Everybody decadancing
 Dancing to the decadence
 Dancing to the decadence dance
