I Can't Dance

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
