Lyrics[]
You have to stand up to dance
Stand up please, stand up!
Now get ready to dance!
Everyone can daaaaance...
Everyone can daaaaance...
Everyone can daaaaance!!!
¡Merengue!
¡Baila, baila!
Put your hands on your hips
Shake, shake, shake
Hands on your hips, shake, shake, shake!
Everyone can dance
Arms up front
And clap your hands
Arms up front, and clap your hands!
Everyone can dance
Stand up straight
And jump, jump!
Stand up straight, jump, jump!
Everyone can dance
It's the Everyone-Can-Dance, dance
The Everyone-Can-Dance, dance
Come on take a chance and dance!
Whoo!
¡Baila, baila!
The Everyone-Can-Dance song has made it clear to me
That trapping Swiper sure was wrong, and now we're really sorry
The elf is really sorry, the elf is really sorry
The elf is really sorry, Yeah!
¡Baila, baila!
I love to dance with everyone, It's really great and really fun!
Im glad I took the chance to dance!
It's the Everyone-Can-Dance, dance
The Everyone-Can-Dance, dance
Come on take a chance and dance!
Whoo!
¡Baila, baila!
The Everyone-Can-Dance, dance!
Lyrics (Doll version)[]
This version is used as the merengue dance for the Dress & Dance Dora doll.
Move your arms up and down
Shake your head
Arms up and down, shake your head
Everyone can dance
It's the Everyone-Can-Dance, dance
The Everyone-Can-Dance, dance
Come on take a chance and dance!
You're a great dancer!
¡Baila, baila!
It's the Everyone-Can-Dance, dance
The Everyone-Can-Dance, dance
Come on take a chance and dance!
Whoo!
¡Baila, baila!
The Everyone-Can-Dance, dance!
