Hook your feelings up to a power station

Let your feelings broadcast across the nation, hey

Stand up!
Stand up!
Maybe a fool takes a fortune by chance

Maybe the world has lost its romance

But you've got to try to keep on dancing

I don't need to be the king of the jungle
I don't need to be the king of the jungle
Or the queen of the heart
Or the queen of the heart
'Cause people try and take you and make you over
'Cause people try and take you and make you over
Into something you're not
Into something you're not
Stand up!
Stand up!
Tell your teacher, tell your summer affair
Tell your teacher, tell your summer affair
The power is yours, the magic is there
The power is yours, the magic is there
It's at your command
It's at your command
So don't let it slip through your hands
So don't let it slip through your hands
The name of the game

You are what you are

Headlines, party lines

The only sense it makes is that it takes all kinds

Old friends, no friends

The dance of the heart can never end
The dance of the heart can never end
The dance of the heart never ends, it never ends
The dance of the heart never ends, it never ends
It's not all about money

It's not all about fame
It's not all about fame
Material to the spiritual world
