Watch, watch, watch these hands
They can dance they can sing they can dance they can
Watch, watch, watch these hands
They can dance they can sing they can dance they can
Chicken, chicken, Chicken, chicken
Chicken, chicken, Chicken, chicken
You say I'm a chicken avoiding corporate positions
Making decisions, to be a musician, maybe television
Make a living, run my fathers bar? Not my vision!
C-c-c-c-C'mon, C'mon, c-c-c-c-C'mon, C'mon
C'mon give me crap about being middle cla**
Farmington hills, 11 and Middlebelt
My own story to tell, about the cards I was dealt
Don't know that, there's more to spill
Watch, watch, watch these hands
They can dance they can sing they can dance they can
Watch, watch, watch these hands
They can dance they can sing they can dance they can
Lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin'
Lookin', lookin', lookin', lookin'
Looked at your lips and you asked
“What's wrong with us?”
Why we rode the short bus
The short bus to school
I was fortunate enough
I made it out of Lahser High School
And then I made it out of R.I.T
Most of the kids I rode the bus with
Never saw fifteen
I hope they're looking down
I dedicate this song to them
I hope they're looking down
I dedicate this song
I hope they're looking down
I dedicate this song to them
I hope they're looking down
I know that they'd be proud
Watch, watch, watch these hands
They can dance they can sing they can dance they can
Watch, watch, watch these hands
They can dance they can sing they can dance they can
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky
I know it was luck
People said it took guts
Audition in front of the best
Measure of success
May not bring happiness
Lesson to be learned
You never ask the wheels don't turn, oh
Maybe they're turning now
Maybe come falling down
I gotta ride this out
Maybe come falling down
It's now or never now
Maybe come falling down
Maybe I'll pave the way
For someone else someday
Watch, watch, watch these hands
They can dance they can sing they can dance they can
Watch, watch, watch these hands
They can dance they can sing they can dance they can
They Can Dance, They Can Dance, They Can Dance
They Can Sing, They Can Sing, They Can Sing
They Can Dance, They Can Dance, They Can Dance
They Can Sing, They Can Sing, They Can Sing…
