kids all wanna dance,
preacher says "no,
it's immoral,
write your Bible verses
under the laurel,"

they give him a
respectful glance,
then take a rebellious
stance,

sun goes down
music beats the
hell outta town,

no disdain,
it's called footloose,
get down, it's soul
train,

everybody, everybody
cut footloose, put on
your dancin' shoes,

preacher closes the
hall, "Saturday Night
Fever is Satan's call,"

don't look at it as
an evil return of
events, blood
and payback
dents,

drunk driver
careens into
preacher, wife
dies, preacher
freed by jaws
of life,

many months of
rehabilitation, doc
says boogie,
kids roll preacher
in wheelchair to
the dancefloor,
prosthesis he
wears gets rhythm,

kick off your
Sunday shoes,

Everybody cut
Footloose!
