Now the dance that the Vulcans do
I don't know how it started
All I know is that when the beat T'Prings a feel
It's so hard to get parted
And then the music begins to play
Automatically you're on your way
Are you ready (are you ready)
Well, you get yours, cause I got mine
For the Amok Time (Amok Time)
