(Bm)Please un der stand I see you clap your hands, if (Am)you stick a round I’m sure that be fine.

But I don’t feel like danc (G)in’ (D)when the old Jo an (Em)na plays, my heart could take a chance but (G)my two feet can’t find (Gsus2/4)a way.

You’d (G)think that I could mus ter up a lit tle soft shoe gen (G)tle sway, but I don’t feel like danc (G)in’, (D)no sir, no danc in’ to day.
