Strum
D-DU-UDU
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  coming from my eyes.
Yeah,  there was ham and there was turkey, there was caviar.
 And long tall glasses with wine up to y'are..
 and somebody  grabbed me, threw me out of 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 hungry  as me, then I'm sure  you will understand.
//  (Hmmmmmm, now wait  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 da..an..ce..I really hit the floor.
 Aaah, it feels good..look  at me dancing.
I  did a Two-Step, Quick-Step and a Bossanova..a little
 Victor Sylvester and a Rudy Valentino.
 You should  have seen me moving, right across the floor.
 Hand me down  my tuxedo..next week  I'm coming back for more.
I  can dance..oh, yes, I can dance.
 Look at me dance on the floor..movin'...I  feel good.
 I can dance..I can dance..I  can dance..I can dance..
 I can dance..I can dance..
 A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
