This is what happens when Cathy Cook MacDonald leads Lord of the Dance in
a crowded filk room.
| We | Am danced | on the tables and we | G danced | on the chairs. |
| We | Am danced | on the instruments, ig | G nor | ing angry | E7 glares | . |
| We | Am danced | near some filkers, and we | Dm danced | on their feet, |
| And we | Am danced | as we | G beat | a fast retreat. |
| Am Dance | , dance, wher | G ever | you may | Am be | . |
| Even if there isn’t | D room | , said | E she | . |
| But I’ll | Am dance | on | G you | if you | Dm dance | on | E me | ! |
| Still, I | Am think | you all ought to | G dance | , said | Am she | . |
