I Can't Dance (Album Version)

I Can't Dance (Album Version) - Allan Sherman

I can't dance

I can't dance

Besides I'm two feet shorter than the girls are

All these dancing parties are just plain dumb

When they asked I should have said "I can't come "

There's a girl with braces

Standing by the punch bowl and she's making funny faces

I guess she wants to dance

I can't dance

I can't dance

Besides I look so awful in these braces

If that boy wants me to dance I'll just die

I'm so tall and he's about three feet high

Ever since September

I've been taking dancing lessons now I can't remember

How the heck to dance

Pardon me

My name's Jeff

And I don't mind if you are tall and skinny

And those braces on your teeth

They're real neat

Thank you for the compliment Gee you're sweet

Your name is Carlotta

I met you last summer when we went to Camp Granada

We oughta try to dance

Right foot first

Left foot next

I think you're 'sposed to do it to the music

You don't really look so bad just your ears

When do you take your braces off

Four more years

By the time your teeth are ready

I'll be two feet taller and I'll ask you to go steady

Then we'll dance
