Ricky Nelson Lyrics
"You Can't Dance"

(T. Ryan / B. Yeomans)

Playin' in a bar
We were tryin' to get up
They kept pullin' us down
Said we loved the sound
If you could just play somethin'
We could dance to.

Play us another one
Like the other ones
Like the ones on the radio
Don't go slow
Get on with the show.

And I said
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance till you take a chance
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance.

Listen to the song
You can move your feet
If you listen to your heartbeat
Close your eyes
Let your body go.

Here comes another one
Like the other ones
Like the ones on the radio
Here we go
Get on with the show.

And I said
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance till you take a chance
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance.

Here comes another one
Like the other ones
Like the ones on the radio
Here we go
Get on with the show.

And I said
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance till you take a chance
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance.

And I said
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance till you take a chance
If you can't dance to this one
You can't dance.

If you can't dance.
If you can't dance.
If you can't dance...
