It’s such a drag
Woke up and I can’t dance
It’s such a drag
Woke up and I can’t dance
I tried to do the jerk
Man it just wouldn’t work
I tried to do the fly
I was a sad-looking guy
Tried to walk the dog
I was as stiff as a log
The funky chicken
was a bad decision
Refrain
(Someone seen this man’s baby
Making rubble of his heart?)
Of course I worry bout my Tiffany
but something else is wrong
I’ve been reading up on history
Oh, will it drop while my phone busy tones?
Refrain
I tried to do the twist
My hips could not get the jist
Tried to watsui
It wasn’t so cutesy
Tried to get some locomotion
Felt like I fell in the ocean
Forget the Hully Gully
I can’t even Hokey Pokey
(Someone seen this man’s baby
Making rubble of his heart?)
There’s a calming just before the storm
Another after it too
Nobody wonders when they’re satisfied
They think the skies are supposed to stay blue
Refrain
I can’t do the mashed potato no mo’!!!
Can’t even put my feet on the floor
