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

‘Coz I can't dance no no I can't dance no no
Can't get in the groove ‘coz my feets 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

‘Coz I can't dance no no I can't dance no no
Can't get in the groove ‘coz my feets won't move
And I can't dance no no and I can't dance no no

(Dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance ooh)
(Dance dance dance dance ooh dance dance dance dance)

(Dance dance dance dance)
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

‘Coz I can't dance no no I can't dance no no
Can't get in the groove ‘coz my feets 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

‘Coz we can't dance no no we can't dance no no
Can't get in the groove ‘coz our feets 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
