lyrics

One fine july day in Strasbourg France
Frau Troffea began to violently dance
There was no music in the air
She danced like she didn’t care
It was the strangest thing you ever seen
It was the Dancing Plague of 1518

Soon other folks in town started tappin’ their feet
They began dancing in the street
The local band started to play
In hopes it would go away
It was the strangest thing you ever seen
It was the Dancing Plague of 1518

Was it whisky in the water?
Ergot in the bread?
After days of non-stop dancing
People started dropping dead

X2

By the time that the month had passed
400 people were out there shaking their ass
Then as quick as it began, it suddenly came to an end
It was the strangest thing you’d ever seen
It was the Dancing Plague of 1518

Bring back, bring back the plague x 2
Bring back the Dancing Plague of 1518!
