The Big Apple Choreography
There are those who say that dance is only for the screen
That nowhere in real life is it actually to be seen
Well, I guess there’s a lot that these folks are overlooking
Because in good ol’ New York City, there’s always some dance cooking
The trick, you see, is to see what others can’t
Which might even involve turning your head at a slant
Like when a man walks the streets with a briefcase he just bought
When he’s seen from a slant, he’s on a box, dancing the trot
Or when a woman buys a coffee and asks for her change
She’s actually waltzing with Washington and testing her vocal range
Or when a raccoon tips a trashcan in search of goodies to chomp
He’s just slamming the lid to rehearse his performance of stomp
There are many jigs to be viewed when New York starts to move
I didn’t think this was something that I needed to prove
But when a man looks at me and says, “Son, I don’t approve”
It’s time for me hold up a mirror and show him his daily groove
