With five hundred dollars I can make all my dreams come true
If I work hard I'll take home the prize
With five hundred dollars I won't need no education
In two weeks and I'll be dancing for my life
Dancers don't need to read, that's why we only have to count to eight
I don't need speed to get ahead, 5, 6, 7, 8!
Dancers don't need to read, that's why we only have to count to eight
I don't need a GED or an MBA
With five hundred dollars I'll be bathing in dollar bills
If I don't win I'll stab them with my knife
With five hundred dollars I can be the president
I'll show Bayside how bright this star will shine
Dancers don't need to read, that's why we only have to count to eight
I don't need speed to get ahead, 5, 6, 7, 8!
Dancers don't need to read, that's why we only have to count to eight
I don't need a GED or an MBA
I just realized that I don't need to read because I'm gonna win the talent show
And I'm gonna dance naked for the rest of my life and put glitter on my nipples and jump out of a volcano!
You know, like a showgirl!
Dancers don't need to read, that's why we only have to count to eight
I don't need speed to get ahead, 5, 6, 7, 8!
Dancers don't need to read, that's why we only have to count to eight
I don't need a GED or an MBA
In the USA!
