hot sun beating down
burning my feet just walking around
hot sun making me sweat
gators getting close, hasn't got me yet
I can't dance, I can't talk.
only thing about me is the way I walk
I can't dance, I can't sing
I m just standing here selling
everything.
blue jeans sitting on the beach,
her dogs talking to me, but she's
out of reach.
she's got a body under that shirt,
but all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt.
'cos, I can't dance, I can't talk,
the only thing about me is the way I walk.
I can't dance, I can't sing,
I'm just standing here selling.
oh and checking everything is in place,
you never know who's looking on.
young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.
thick smoke, see her smiling through;
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.
but I'can t dance, I can't talk
the only thing about me is the way that I walk
I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling,
oh and checking everything is in place
you never know who's looking on
a perfect body with a perfect face
no, I can't dance, I can't talk
the only thing about me is the way I walk
no, I can't dance, I can't sing
I'm just standing here selling everything
no, I can't walk
no, I can't dance
no, I can't dance
no, I said I can't sing
