There's a little black girl
in my neighborhood
who was always out
clapping and jumping rope
She'd dance for people passing by
Always giving a stellar performance
in exchange for a smile
but people paid her no mind
No matter how hard
she tried
Mona Lisa jumped
real high
Opened up her arms
and touched the sky
Mona Lisa
You've seen more worlds than I
with your starry eyes
One day up the hill
by the A&P
Where the old break dancers
used to meet
Some kids said
"Come on, show us what you got"
Mona Lisa thought
that they were laughing
with her
but they were laughing at her
And to their surprise
what happened next
urban legend provides
Mona Lisa jumped
Real high
Opened up her arms
and touched the sky
Mona Lisa
You've seen more worlds than i
You showed us how
to live our lives
With your starry eyes (oh, oh, oh)
Dancing in the sky (oh, oh, 0h)
Never compromise (oh, oh, oh)
Can I dance with you tonight
until tomorrow?
Well its been some years
since I've been back home
and on my block
they still see her
Stories of a little girl
who with her step
tried to change the world
Mona Lisa jumped
Real High
Opened up her arms
And touched the sky
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa
Can you see her?
Can you feel her?
You've seen more worlds than I
You showed us how
to do it right with your starry eyes
Dancing in the sky
Never compromise
Can I dance with you tonight
into tomorrow?
