Verse 1:
Well, I was dancing in my heyday,
With a top hat and a cane so suave,
Moves so slick, I ruled the stage,
Stepped on toes, but I was brave.
Chorus:
Hey now, can you hear me out?
Michael, did you steal my clout?
Moonwalks and spins, they shine so bright,
But tell me, did you copy my light?
Verse 2:
The stage was mine, those taps were gold,
Class and charm, in every fold,
But here comes a kid with a shiny glove,
Takin’ my moves, pushin’ and shove!
Chorus:
Hey now, can you hear me out?
Michael, did you steal my clout?
Moonwalks and spins, they shine so bright,
But tell me, did you copy my light?
Bridge:
A dance floor battle, we face the past,
Legends collide, how long will it last?
I gave my all, I paved the way,
Now it’s my turn, time to sway!
Verse 3:
With rhythm and style, I'll take a stand,
In this dance-off, I’ll make my brand,
Yeah, MJ, you dazzled the night,
But Fred's still here, ready to fight!
Chorus:
Hey now, can you hear me out?
Michael, did you steal my clout?
Moonwalks and spins, they shine so bright,
But tell me, did you copy my light?
Outro:
So here’s to the dancers, the dreams we weave,
Inspiration’s a circle, so let’s believe,
From Fred to Michael, we’ll dance in the night,
In the end, it’s all about the light!
