Intro
GF
Now You are a boy, an orphan boy,
EbBb
And deep inside of you.
CmBb
A broken soul, a gaping hole,
AbD7
Has left you feeling blue.
GF
But you’re not like the other boys.
EbBb
You’ve got that magic flair.
GmAb
‘Cause when you start to sway,
Eb
You get carried away,
GD
And no one can compare.
Verse 1
G
I’ve been watching you play,
D
I’ve been listening to the things that you say,
C
And I’ve come to tell you today,
GD7
You’re no ordinary blighter.
G
You’ve got a broken heart,
D
And you keep reaching inside to tear it apart,
C
But I’m here to give you a brand new start
GD7
And to make your spirits brighter.
Pre-chorus 1

When all the other boys start to laugh and jeer,

I know a secret way you can make them disappear.

You’ve got the talent, kid, this is your chance!

They might not understand, but just stick to the plan,

And show them all it’s time to dance.

Always dance, always dance,
BmEA
Though they’ll try to stop you, always dance.

Shut your mouth and stop your yapping,

Take your foot and start it tapping!

Oh Tommy, always dance.
Verse 2
AE
I’ve been ready to go, for how long I really don’t know,
D
But one look at you and I know,
AE7
That you would never fool me.
AE
I’ve been living a lie, ever since I made my poor mommy die,
D
I’ve been softly wondering why,
AE7
They all choose to ridicule me.
Pre-chorus 2
When all the other boys start to laugh and jeer.
I know a secret way I can make them disappear.
You’ve got the talent, kid! This is my chance!
They might not understand, but we’ll stick to the plan,
And show them all it’s time to dance!
Chorus 2
Always dance, always dance,
Though they’ll try to stop you, always dance.
Shut your mouth and stop your yapping,
Take your foot and set it tapping.
I was born a magic boy, I’ll leap and twirl and prance!
Oh Tommy—oh Dumby—I’ll always dance.
