[Verse 1]
Well, I went to a hop the other night
The joint was a-jumpin', everything was right
The cats were doing a bop, the chicken too
But I sit alone at a table for two

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't dance, no no
I can't dance, no no
Can't get in the groove
'Cause my feets won't move
And I can't dance, no no
And I can't dance, no no

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause I can't dance, no no
I can't dance, no no
Can't get in the groove
'Cause my feets won't move
And I can't dance, no no
And I can't dance, no no
[Bridge]
(No, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance)
(Oooh, dance, dance, dance, dance)
(Oooh, dance, dance, dance, dance)
(Dance, dance, dance, dance)

[Verse 3]
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"

[Chorus]
She said, "I can't dance, no no
I can't dance, no no"
Can't get in the groove
'Cause her feets won't move
And she can't dance, no no
And she can't dance, no no (No)

[Verse 4]
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"
[Chorus]
'Cause we can't dance, no no
We can't dance, no no
Can't get in the groove
'Cause our feets won't move
And we can't dance, no no
And we can't dance, no no

[Outro]
I can't dance, I can't dance, I can't dance
