Footloose and fancy free
That’s just the way I want to be
Want to run around, wear the sun around
Want to do as I please
Footloose and fancy free
Nobody keeping tabs on me
Wanna take my time
Wanna know that I’m
Just as free as the breeze
I love to do things
Just a butterfly on the loose
I go for new things
So I love and run away 
And live to love another day
Footloose and fancy free
Just give me life and liberty
I was born that way
And I’m gonna stay
Footloose and fancy free.
