Lyrics and performance by Sally Thompson, Maddie Grills, Victoria Grills.

Zeke:
There’s nothin like a good ol ball game

Pitcher at the plate, 
And the Batter up to swing

there‘s trouble in the air
you can smell it

And Chad is up there by himself, 
I’ll let him tell it

CHAD: 
I was ready to play, at the plate
No time to wait 

It was time for me hit the ball right outta this Place 

The bases were loaded
It was up to fate

That’s when Mr. Ryan Evans walked up to the plate, 
He said 

Ryan: 
I know i’m just a theater nerd 
My reputation is nothin but absurd

While I don’t care what you’ve heard 
It’s about time that you learned 

You say you don’t know 
How to move, how to groove, and I don’t approve

If you know how to play ball
Dancing won’t be tough at all

Chad: 
So I told him he was wrong
And that he doesn't belong 
He said 

Ryan: 
You never know

Chad: 
I’ve never been the type to dance and I was not about to learn, he said 

Ryan: 
You never tried

Chad: 
Then before I could refuse him, he said bet 
He did a time step, with a spin then said 

Ryan: 
Playyyy
The gameeee

Chad: 
That’s when I began to say
I will not dance to this 
I cannot dance to this 

But he’s raising all the stakes
It’s a risk I gotta take

No, I will not dance to this
I cannot dance to this  

In my mind I want him to (go go go) 
on the field I’m tellin him no no 

Ensamble: 
no no won’t dance to this
no no can’t dance to this
No no won’t dance to this
No no don’t dance to this

Chad: 
I wish I could say that was the last time 
He asked to dance, but it when we got to halftime

He gave me a proposition, He was on some kind of mission
This was an act of attrition, he said

Ryan: 
Look, Chad, I get that you are too scared to dance so 
I think that its time to put your fear up to the test
If I win this baseball quest then you and all your friends will have to bring your zest to the talent fest (ooooooo)

Uh oh, you thought I was about to play nice? 
You better watch your mouth BEFORE I’ll take your ass to heights!
And yeah, if you win then I won’t fight
I’ll leave you alone, for good, hope that’s alright

Chad: 
I dropped my bat at the base, disgraced, with a smile on his face, he said 

Ryan: 
Game on 

Chad: 
This won’t be how I fall, it is time to play ball, he cried 

Ryan: 
Batter up 

Chad: 
You think you actually can beat me?

Ryan: 
You have no idea what’s coming

Chad: 
This could be the start of something

Ryan: 
Stop Chad-ing and start running

Chad
 Stop it please
                                            I can’t  dance, there’s not a chance
Ryan: 
I don’t believe you think you can’t dance

Ryan: 
Just show me how you swing, you can trust me

Chad: 
I cannot lose

I cannot
I can

Ryan: 
I can see on your face that you’re braced for home base

Chad: 
I never thought I would dance to this 
I don’t know how to dance to this 
But the situations a mess 
And I hate dancin a bit less 

I never thought I would dance to this 
I don’t know how to dance to this 

In my mind I want him to (go go go) 
then he’s dancin real smooth and I can’t say 

No, oh you’ll dance to this
Oh, oh just dance to this
Oh, oh you’ll dance to this
Oh, oh just dance to this


Chad: 
I want to dance 
Ryan: 
You want to dance 

Chad: 
I am curious to know

Ryan: 
So? 

Chad: 
We can dance in the show

I Don't Dance (Say No to This)
