[Intro: Nikki Giovanni]
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance and we will whirl
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance together
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance and we will whirl
We will dance to our own song
We will spin to our own world
Won't you dance with me?
Stop your crying, dance with me
Feel the rhythm of my arms
Don't let's cry now, dance with me
Stop your tearing up
Don't you hear the music?
Don't you feel the happy beat?
Bring your partner, dance with me
We will dance to our own song
And whirl around
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance together
(Hey)
(Hey)
(Hey)
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance together
Won't you dance with me?
And whirl around?
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance together
Feel the rhythm of my arms
Stop your tearing up
Don't you hear the music?
Don't you feel—
Don't you feel—
You, don't you feel—
You, don't you feel—
Stop your crying, dance with me
Dan-dan, dance-dance
Dan-dance-dance, dan-dan
Dance-dance, feel the rhythm
Dance-dance-dance
Feel the rhythm, feel the rhythm, feel the rhythm
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance toge-toge-toge-toge—
All you children gather 'round
We will dance to our own song
Won't you dance with me?
Stop your crying, dance with me
Feel the rhythm
Feel the rhythm
We will dance to our own song
And whirl around
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance together
