Converting an IEnumerable<dynamic> to array of arrays C#

Question

I have an IEnumerable<dynamic> which I get from a dapper query which serialized using json.net gives as below..

[{"id": "ZoomIn", "label": "Zoom In"},
        {"id": "ZoomOut", "label": "Zoom Out"},
        {"id": "OriginalView", "label": "Original View"}]

I want the json in the below format..

[["ZoomIn","Zoom In"],
["ZoomOut","Zoom Out"],
["OriginalView","Original View"]]

Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Thanks

simple snippet using JavaScriptSerializer,

public class Friends
    {

        public List<FacebookFriend> data {get;set;}
    }

    public class FacebookFriend
    {

        public string id {get;set;}
        public string label{get;set;}
    }

    Friends facebookFriends = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Friends>(result);

    string json=
        @"{""data"":[{"id": "ZoomIn", "label": "Zoom In"},
            {"id": "ZoomOut", "label": "Zoom Out"},
            {"id": "OriginalView", "label": "Original View"}]}";


    Friends facebookFriends = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Friends>(json);

    foreach(var item in facebookFriends.data)
    {
       Console.WriteLine("id: {0}, label: {1}",item.id,item.label);
    }
