A
I was travellin' down the road feelin' hungry and cold,
                                         A7
I saw a sign sayin', food and drinks for everyone..
    D                                            A
so, naturally I thought I would take me a look inside.
      E                      D                    A
I saw so much food there was water coming from my eyes.

#2.
A
Yeah, there was ham and there was turkey, there was caviar.
                                      A7
And long tall glasses with wine up to y'are..
    D                                       A
and somebody grabbed me, threw me out of my chair.
         E                           D               A
Said, 'Before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire.'

CHORUS:
A
You know I can't dance..you know I can't dance.

You know I can't dance..you know I can't dance.
        D      A  E D A...A G# G F# F//A  
I can't dance!

#2.
A
I am a man of the road..a hobo by name..I don't seek 
                                A7
entertainment, just poultry and game.
            D                                            A
But if it's all the same to you..then yes, I will try my hand.
            E                      D                  A
If you were hungry as me, then I'm sure you will understand.

A G# G F# F// A (Hmmmmmm, now wait A minute...)

CHORUS:#2.
A
Of course I can dance..of course I can dance.

I'm sure I can dance..I'm sure I can dance.
      D                                         A
I can dance..I can da..an..ce..I really hit the floor.
               E     D                   A G# G F# F//A                     
Aaah, it feels good..look at me dancing.

I did a Two-Step, Quick-Step and a Bossanova..a little 
                               A7
Victor Sylvester and a Rudy Valentino.
    D                                            A
You should have seen me moving, right across the floor.
        E                    D                        A
Hand me down my tuxedo..next week I'm coming back for more.

                   E
