I got a man with two left feet and when he dances down to the beat
Ebm Ebm(maj7) Ebm7 Ebm6
I really think that he should know that his rhythms go go go

I got a man with two left feet and when he dances down to the beat

I really think that he should know that his rhythms go go go

Does he wash up? - He never washes up

[verse] - implied chords
Hey boy, how you been?
Bb7sus4 Bb7
I got a thousand lines, Where do I begin?
Ebm7 Ebm6
And I, I been here, been there travelling
Bb7
I saw you at the corner, my vibe kicked in then
Ebm7 Ebm6
Two (???), I clock you
Bb7sus4 Bb7
Wearing tight jeans, a real nice suit
Ebm7
He was smiling like you were just seventeen
Bb7
I asked him for a dance, he said 'yes please'
Ebm7 Ebm6
(NB: add brass)
Take a sip of dancing juice, everybody's onto you.
Bb7sus4 Bb7 Ebm7 Ebm6
To the left and to the right, everybody hit the rhythm, It's on tonight
Bb7sus4 Bb7 Ebm7 Ebm6
I'm gonna feel the beat within my soul, I need a man to take control
Bb7sus4 Bb7 Ebm7 Ebm6
Let the melody blow you all away
