there was a young boy told that he couldn't dance
dreamed of the ballroom and of the glittery pants
he loved to dance to the rock and the rock and roll
he even spent a little time on the stripper pole
maybe one day he would get that call
and he could be the man in the mirror ball
then one day i got a call on my phone
they said do you want to dance on a tv show
i met a redhead yeah her name was sharna
she was my dance partner
sometimes i trip and i slip and fall
maybe i'd be the man in the mirror ball
i learned a foxtrot i learned to jive
i can't believe that i'm still alive
i learned to tango i learned to waltz
the judges thought i was on bat salts
you lifted me up and the confetti fell
all the other dancers said what the
i couldn't have done it without you all
'cause i became the man in the mirror ball
