They Dance Lyrics - The Hole - Golden Earring

Down in the Latin quarter, down on dead end street 

Down in the basement brother that's where I'm bound to be 

Trading payday weekly for a welfare check 

My baby's cryin' crazy ain't seen nothing yet 

Own a cardboard shelter with a classic view on Rio 

Sellin' cigarettes to the tourists down below 

Girl's a sixteen year old carnival queen 

Too poor to strike a match, if you know what I mean 

If you know what I mean 

But they dance to that voodoo rhythm 

Oh, they can't do without it 

They dance it's such an old tradition that your soul belongs 

Your soul belongs to music they dance 

Not too far from the ghetto 

Life has a different feel, food has a different flavor 

Boot tap a different beat, Doberman will be watchin' 

Your every single move 

You know, you can't trust a stranger 

Baby, oh ain't that the truth, ain't that the truth now 

They dance to that voodoo rhythm 

Oh, they can't do without it 

They dance it's such an old tradition that your soul belongs 

Your soul belongs to music 

They dance to that voodoo rhythm 

Oh, they can't do without it 

They dance it's such an old tradition 

Their souls belongs, their soul belongs to music 

That's why they dance! 

They dance to that voodoo rhythm 

Oh, they can't live without it 

But they dance it's such an old tradition 

Their soul belongs, their soul belongs to music 

That's why you dance!
