Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

type 1):

One cold December night back in 1984

A scientist had found himself upon the dance floor

He started twitching and shaking like a pile of jumping beans

At first it looked stupid, but the end justified the means

Verse

type 2):

Well I know it’s not generally considered very cool

To dance like a nitwit, to dance like a fool

But now that’s just a guideline, not a rule

Chorus

So get off the wall, stand proud and tall

Get out there and dance like an idiot

You know it’s all good, so rock the neighborhood

Get out there and dance like an idiot
