I Can't Dance

(album: Faron Young - 1966)

Well I went to a hop the other night
The joint was a-jumping everything was right
The cats were doing 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-tripping 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
