Long Tall Glasses (I Can Dance) Lyrics By Leo Sayer

    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
    then 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

    hmm now wait a 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 dance i really hit the floor ah it feels good
    look at me dancin’

    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
