Dance Baby
Aaron Daniel Jacob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go down to the store and buy a wicker chair
Sweat, baby, sweat, baby, wave your feet
Throw off your shoes and dance to the beat
Just dance, baby (Dance, baby)
Dance, baby (Dance, baby)
Wear sunglasses for the glare, yeah, yeah
Shake your feet to the beat (Woo, ooo, ooo)
Make sure you get a window seat, yeah
Sweat, baby, sweat, baby, soak your hat
Wring it out, take it to the laundromat
Dance, baby, dance, baby, wave your feet
Throw off your shoes and dance to the beat
Just dance, baby (Dance, baby)
Dance, baby (Dance, baby)
Dance, baby, dance, baby, shake your hips
Go down to the pier and get some fish and chips (Oooh)
Groove, baby, groove, baby, motivate your limbs
Never eat a cactus if you're out of practice
Shake your feet to the beat, get a window seat (Oooh)
You can feel the heat and you feel complete
You're poppin' it, lockin' it, round-the-clockin' it (Yeah)
Everybody's talkin' it 'cause you're rockin' it (Dance, baby!)
Just dance, baby!
The lyrics of the song “Dance Baby” by Aaron Daniel Jacob have a simple yet catchy theme of dancing freely and letting go of inhibitions. The repetition of the phrase “Dance, baby, dance, baby” highlights the importance of expressing oneself through movement. The verse “Hands in the air, Go down to the store and buy a wicker chair” seems to suggest that the song is not about the lyrics themselves but about the feeling that dancing can bring. The lines “Sweat, baby, sweat, baby, wave your feet” and “Throw off your shoes and dance to the beat” reinforce the idea of giving oneself fully to the music and letting it move the body.
