lyrics

Dance this town

All week I’ve got two left feet
Two itchy feet and not relief
But I know a way I can scratch that spot
This Saturday night when the band is hot

I can
Dance this town – down in the Valley - I can
Dance this town – down by the river – I can
Dance this town – dance ‘till the morning
Five; four; three; two – one more day ‘till I
Dance this town
Ahuh – dance this town

Every morning I’m up bright and early
Drag my self to work and school
Looking peached and really pearly
Though the teacher treats me like a fool
Boss wants me to work back late
To earn that extra dollar a day
I take all the money he gives me
I’m saving up to play on

Saturday night – down in the Valley
Saturday night – down by the river
Saturday night – dance ‘till the morning
Five; four; three; two – one more day ‘till I
Dance this town
Ahuh – dance this town

This town ain’t fancy in the suburbs
This town ain’t fancy in the city
But when you get down in the valley
You can dance, dance ,dance, dance,

You can
Dance this town – down in the Valley – you can
Dance this town – down by the river – you can
Dance this town – dance ‘till the morning
Five; four; three; two – one more day ‘till I
Dance this town
Ahuh – dance this town
