Oh-what-wow.
He's the
greatest dancer.
Oh-what-wow.
That I've ever
seen.
Oh-what-wow.
He's the greatest
dancer.
Oh-what-wow.
One night in a disco.
On the outskirts
of Frisco.
I was cruisin' with my favourite gang.
The place was so
boring.
Filled with out-of-towners touring.
I knew that it wasn't my
thing.
I really wasn't caring.
But I felt my eyes staring.
At a
guy who stood out in the crowd.
He had the kind of body.
That would
shame Adonis.
And a face that would make any man
cry.
Oh-what-wow.
He's the greatest
dancer.
Oh-what-wow.
That I've ever seen.
Oh-what-wow.
He's
the greatest dancer.
Oh-what-wow.
The champion of dance.
His
moves would put you in a trance.
And he never leaves the disco
alone.
Arrongance but not conceit.
As a man he's complete.
My
crme de la crme.
Please take me (don't go) home.
He wears the finest
clothes.
The best designers, heaven knows.
Ooh, from his head down
to his toes.
Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci.
He looks like a
still.
That man is dressed to kill.
Oh-what-wow.
He's the
greatest dancer.
Oh-what-wow.
That I've ever
seen.
Oh-what-wow.
He's the greatest dancer.
Oh-what-wow.
That
I've ever seen.
(CHORUS:)
We are family.
I got all my
sisters with me.
We are family.
Get up ev'rybody and
sing.
Ev'ryone can see we're together.
As we walk on
by.
(FLY!).
and we fly just like birds of a feather.
I won't tell
no lie.
(ALL!).
all of the people around us they say.
Can they be
that close.
Just let me state for the record.
We're giving love in a
family dose.
(CHORUS x2).
Living life is fun and we've just
begun.
To get our share of the world's delights.
(HIGH!).
high
hopes we have for the future.
And our goal's in sight.
(WE!).
no
we don't get depressed.
Here's what we call our golden rule.
Have
faith in you and the things you do.
You won't go wrong.
This is our
family Jewel.
