I know the world's in a real bad way
I can make you dance if you want me to
But I can make you better, let me show you what it takes baby
I can make you dance if you want me to
Now I got a thang that's sure to make ya wanna moooove
I can make you dance if you want me to
It's controlled by roger and it's right here in this tube
I can make you dance if you want me to
Now I can set you free from your trouble double time, baby
I can make you dance if you want me to
Just lend me your ears and let your feet keep time, baby
I can make you dance if you want me to
And here's what you'll find about this music of mine, baby
I can make you dance if you want me to
Oh yeah-ah-ah

Now they can raise the price of the food and the drink
I can make you dance if you want me to
But what I offer you won't cost a doggone thing
I can make you dance if you want me to
You can dance in the morning when you eat your cornflakes
I can make you dance if you want me to
'Cause god gave me rhythm and that's really all it takes
I can make you dance if you want me to
I can make you dance
You know I can make you dance

Forget about your nine to five

Make you dance, make you dance, make you dance

Gonna make you dance, dance, dance, dance

I Can Make You Dance
Zapp's 'I Can Make You Dance' stands as a quintessential example of the New Wave and synth-pop sound that defined the late 1970s and early 1980s. The track features the band's signature blend of driving basslines, crisp drum machines, and melodic synthesizer work, creating an infectious rhythm that propelled Zapp into the mainstream alongside contemporaries like The B-52s and The Human League. While the song lacks a traditional album placement in some databases, it remains a staple of the era's dance floor culture, reflecting the post-disco transition toward electronic pop. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the optimism and kinetic energy of the time, making it a frequent choice for dance compilations and a defining track in Zapp's discography.
