Well I went to a hop the other night The joint was a-jumpin' everything was right The cats were doin' the bop the chicken too But I sat alone at a table for two Cause I can't dance no no I can't dance no no Can't get in the groove cause my feet won't move And I can't dance no no and I can't dance no no Well I went to Arthur Murray's and I spent my dough I soon found out I was a fool to go They showed me a waltz two-step too I kept a-trippin' over my blue suede shoes Cause I can't dance no no I can't dance no no Can't get in the groove cause my feet won't move And I can't dance no no and I can't dance no no Well I saw a pretty gal and I got a chance I asked her if she'd show me how to dance She said uh-uh I can't go She said baby there's something you should know She said I can't dance no no I can't dance no no Can't get in the groove cause her feet won't move And she can't dance no no and she can't dance no no So I jumped into my automobile Scooted myself right under the wheel I said pretty baby we might as well go If we can't dance we'll take in a show Cause we can't dance no no we can't dance no no Can't get in the groove cause our feet won't move And we can't dance no no and we can't dance no no I can't dance I can't dance I can't dance
