You know what time it is now don't you?
That's right it is audience participation time

Okay, now look
How many of you were at the second show last night?
All right
I thought that was really good
The guy with the three-piece suit and everything
All right
In fact I liked that so much I think we should have another dance contest
But we need to have just the right people
There's a girl there, that girl right there
You, come here
We have a girl
And we have a guy

Hey, hey, hey

Now here's the deal
This is very simple
You didn't see the second show last night, did ya?
You didn't?
Did you see the second show last night?
You didn't see it? ('course I did, 'course I did)
Sometimes it's so hard to get tickets, you know what I mean?
These big rock groups come to town
Now look
All right, Jimmy

Now listen, now listen
Here's what you need to do
I can tell from the way that you deport yourself
That you are a very rythmic individual, right?
(Yes, sir)
Okay, not bad, all right, Jimmy

Are you a kind of a dancing kind of a person?
(Yes)
Would you say that you are extremely rythmic? Moderately rythmic? Or...?
(Moderately, moderately)
Are you coming along or are you...?
(I'm sorta, right now)
You're like that? Are you nervous?
(Yes)
Why?
(I don't know, it'll stop)
Okay, I'm not gonna stop, I'm not going to...
Listen, you got the deal, Cheryl Dobs, you have the deal

Now here's what's going to happen
You are going to dance with, Jimmy (okay)
All right? (All right)
Except that
There's a little problem here
You think the beats okay 'cause it's going on like that
It's kind of nice right now but in a minute they're gonna play a song that's got rythm all over the place
And you have to keep on dancing to that, understand?
(I understand)
All right (yeah)
And you can't fuck up (no I won't)
Okay, now you guys have to help

Hey
Just pretend it was a Slade concert, you know what I mean?
