-3* -3* 3* -3* 4*-3*
Hot sun beat-ing down
-5* 5* -5* -5* -5* -6 -5*-5* 5*-3*
Burn-ing my feet just walk-ing a-round.
-3* -3* 3* -3* -3* 4*
Hot sun mak-ing me sweat
-5* 5* -5* 5* -5*
ga-tors get-ting close,
-5* 5* -6-5*5* -5*5*-3*
Has-n’t got me yet

-7* -3* -3* -7* -3* -3*
I can’t dance, I can’t talk.
-5* -5*5* -5* 5* -5* 5*
The on-ly thing a-bout me
-5* 5* -6 5*-5*5*-3*
is the way I walk.
-7* -3* -3* -7* -3* -3*
I can’t dance, I can’t sing
-5*5* -5* -5* 5* -5*
I’m just stand-ing here
-5* -5* -5* -5* 5*-3*
Sell-ing ev-‘ry-thing.

-3* -3* -3* -3* 3* -3* 4*-3*
Blue jeans sit-tin’ on the beach,
-5* 5* -5* -5*-5* -5*
Her dogs talk-ing to me,
-6 -5* 5* -5* 5*-3*
but she’s out of reach.
-3* -3*-3*-3*-3*3* -3* -3* 4*
She’s got a bod-y un-der that shirt,
-5* -5* 5* -5* 5*-5*
But all she wants to do
-5*-5* 5* -6 -5* 5* -5*5*-3*
is rub my face in the dirt.

-7* -7* -3* -3* -7* -3* -3*
Cause I can’t dance, I can’t talk.
-5* -5*5* -5* 5* -5* 5*
The on-ly thing a-bout me
-5* 5* -6 5*-5*5*-3*
is the way I walk.
-7* -3* -3* -7* -3* -3*
I can’t dance, I can’t sing
-5*5* -5* -5* 5* -5* -5* -5*
I’m just stand-ing here sell-ing

-5*-5* 5* -3* 5*-3* 5* -5* 5* 5
Oh and check-ing ev’ry-thing is in place,
3* 5 -3* 5* -3* 3 -3* 5* -3*
You nev-er know who’s look-ing on.

-3* -3* -3* -3* 3* -3*-3* 4*-3*
Young punk spill-ing beer on my shoes,
-5* 5* -5* -5* -5*-5*
Fat guy’s talk-ing to me
-5* -6 -5* 5* -5*5*-3*
Try’n to steal my blues.
-3* -3* -3* -3* -3* -3* 5*
Thick smoke, see her smil-ing through.
-6 -6 -6 -6 5* -5* 5* -5* -5*
I nev-er thought so much could hap-pen
-5*5* -6-5* 5* -5*5*-3*
just shoot-ing pool.

-7* -7* -3* -3* -7* -3* -3*
But I can’t dance, I can’t talk.
-5* -5*5* -5* 5* -5* 5*
The on-ly thing a-bout me
-5* 5* -6 5*-5*5*-3*
is the way I walk.
-7* -3* -3* -7* -3* -3*
I can’t dance, I can’t sing
-5*5* -5* -5* 5* -5* -5* -5*
I’m just stand-ing here sell-ing

-5*-5* 5* -3* 5*-3* 5* -5* 5* 5
Oh and check-ing ev’ry-thing is in place,
3* 5 -3* 5* -3* 3 -3* 5* -3*
You nev-er know who’s look-ing on
3* 3* 3* 3* 3* -2*-2*-2* 3* 3*
A per-fect bod-y with a per-fect face –

-7* -7* -3* -3* -7* -3* -3*
Now, I can’t dance, I can’t talk.
-5* -5*5* -5* 5* -5* 5*
The on-ly thing a-bout me
-5* 5* -6 5*-5*5*-3*
is the way I walk.
-7* -3* -3* -7* -3* -3*
I can’t dance, I can’t sing
-5*5* -5* -5* 5* -5*
I’m just stand-ing here
-5* -5* -5* -5* 5*-3*
Sell-ing ev-‘ry-thing.
