Dance
written by Mark Spiro and Gia Sky

Goodness gracious how long has it been
Looking lovely courageous
What room are you in?

They got a good staff of young professionals
The detox was tough, time for group confessionals
But later when you're done spilling your guts
Come over to our cabin
You can dance with us

Dance Dance Dance
Steady with the rhythm
Dance Dance Dance
Baby life is worth living
Dance Dance Dance
Girl you're doing great
Just do what I do yup
5, 6, 7, 8, Dance

In 24 hrs you'll get your sober chip
Tonight in your bunk
You might feel like jumping ship
But slowly by slowly
You'll wake up what it means
When you feel the power
Of finally getting clean

When you're done trying to romance
The way that it was
Come over to our cabin
You can dance with us

Dance Dance Dance
Steady with the rhythm
Dance Dance Dance
Baby life is worth living
Dance Dance Dance
Girl you're doing great
Just do what I do yup
5, 6, 7, 8, Dance

Life goes on
In a circle of forgiveness
On and On
It's that higher power business
Life goes on
Sooner or later
You'll figure out what honesty does
And you can dance us

Dance Dance Dance
Steady with the rhythm
Dance Dance Dance
Giving back what you've been given
Dance Dance Dance
Girl you look great
Just do what I do yup
5, 6, 7, 8, Dance

Seeing the individual channels truly shows the great care for the details that by mr. Klem took in putting together this soundtrack. The OPL3 is really being pushed on this one. Awesome!

Yay! Thank you very much for this. Interesting that the number of channels changes for some songs.

If it's not overloading you on requests I do have another. The "Secret of Monkey Island" and "Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge" intro themes for the PC Speaker.

@acrouzet

I’m not taking requests right now due to the large number of them on my plate. You can periodically check the document linked in the description of this video to know when requests are open again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@Mech4

@@acrouzet Oh no problem. Thank you again for this and my past request.
