Dance Through life.
Dance Through life.
Take a walk down the line.
Tell em all “its mine”.
When they get in yer face.
Tell em “its all our place”!
Walk on tall.
Don’t you take a fall.
Show em all its your place
Its no disgrace to walk tall.
Yeah come on dance about
maybe twist and shout.
Laugh in their faces!
As you rock and roll.
So don’t you want to
twist and shout
What its all about?
Put away that pout.
Left foot forward
Right foot next
Dance yer beetle boots
Till you can’t dance no more.
Right foot forward,
left foot twist.
So come on shake it out
ss you twist and shout.
If they don’t like it
It doesn’t matter
Dance your heart out
Scream and shout.
And if you can’t dance
You can still do it
Carefully in your soul
As you fight that longest haul.

Ah! The fabulous four! But more… you have twisted some fine words into a passionate meme! Love it.

(Reminds me that I read a newly translated flash fiction by Haruki Murakami involving the Beatles in the New Yorker this week. If you are interested in such.)
Thanks Griff, yes the Beetle boot was quite symbolic at one time, but I was in a rare good humour when I wrote it, its this bloody virus that’s got me by the ankles, I wanted something to cheer about. Much appreciated you’re great words. I’ll look up and see if I can find the article you mention. We don’t get the New Yorker over here but maybe I’ll find the article?
The link to the online Muakami thing is this (remove spaces between w’s and in ‘com’):

Hope you enjoy.

Yep found it and enjoyed it. Thank you. I lived in Japan for a year but hadn’t come across Muakami. Cheers.
