Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance)
Written by - Courtney & Sayer
From - Just a Boy
Peaked at #9 - 5/75
I was travellin' down the road, feelin' hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin' food and drinks for everyone
So naturally I thought I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food, there was water comin' from my eye
Yeah, there was ham an' there was turkey, there was caviar
An' long tall glasses, with wine up to yar
An' then somebody grabbed me, threw me outta my chair
Said before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire

You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
I can't dance

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

Hm, now wait a minute
Of course I can dance, of course I can dance
I'm sure I can dance, I'm sure I can dance
I can dance, I can dance, I really hit the floor
Ah, feels good, look at me dancin'

I did a two step, quick step and a bossa nova
A little Victor Silvester and a Rudy Valentino
You should a seen me movin' right across the floor
Hand me down my tuxedo, next week I'm comin' back for more

I can dance, oh yes I can dance
Look at me dancin', the floor is movin'
I feel good, I can dance
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance
I can dance, I can dance
