Dance Commander Lyrics

You must obey the dance commander
Giving out the order for fun
You must obey the dance commander
You know that he's the only one
Who gives the orders here?
Alright
Who gives the orders here?
Alright

It would be awesome
If we could dance
It would be awesome, yeah
Let's take the chance
It would be awesome, yeah
Let's start the show
Because you never know
You never know
You never know
Until you go

Alright
Alright
Who gives the orders here?
Who gives the orders here?

The lights are strong
The orders are in
The dance commanders are ready to sin
Radio message from HQ
Dance commander, we love you

Let's get this party started right, y'all
Let's get this party started right
I went to the store to get more fire!
To start the war
Everybody in the store was whack
I feel like heading straight for a heart attack

Girls are pretty
Girls are nice
Take your chances
Roll the dice
Take your chances

It would be awesome
If we could dance
It would be awesome, yeah
Let's take the chance
It would be awesome, yeah
Let's start the show
Because you never know
You never know
You never know
Until you go

I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever
I want to make it last forever

Ooh, baby
Alright
Alright
You must obey the dance commander
You must obey the dance commander
You must obey the dance commander
You must obey the dance commander
Come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Who gives the orders here?"

I didn't really interpret that as a question per se, due to "You now that I'm the only one...."
