[Verse] Sunshine breaks the morning hush, Sidewalks hum with a gentle rush. Banners wave, the bassline’s sweet, Every corner, tap your feet. [Pre-Chorus] Here they come down Maple Lane, Groovin’ slow, no need for fame. [Chorus] Stop the parade, hear the children shout, Jump and jive, let the groove run out. Every little dance, every smile so wild, We pause the world for the dancing child. [Verse] Shoes hit pavement, rhythm’s tight, Faces glow in golden light. Spin and twirl, the crowd goes wild, Parade’s alive for every child. [Pre-Chorus] Hear that funky guitar slide, Magic’s rolling with the stride. [Chorus] Stop the parade, hear the children shout, Jump and jive, let the groove run out. Every little dance, every smile so wild, We pause the world for the dancing child. [Bridge] Ooh, those moments freeze, In the heart of the breeze. When laughter’s the lead, And joy’s all we need. [Chorus] Stop the parade, hear the children shout, Jump and jive, let the groove run out. Every little dance, every smile so wild, We pause the world for the dancing child. [Chorus] Stop the parade, hear the children shout, Jump and jive, let the groove run out. Every little dance, every smile so wild, We pause the world for the dancing child. [Outro] Yeah, we pause the world, Just for the dancing child.
