Long Tall Glasses - Lyrics by Sayer Leo


Lyrics
Leo Sayer & David Courtney
I was travellin' down the road, feelin' hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin' food and drinks for everyoneso naturally I thought I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food, there was water comin' from my eyeyeah there was ham an' there was turkey, there was caviaran' long tall glasses, with wine up to yaran' then somebody grabbed me, threw me outta my chairsaid before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaireyou know I can't dance, you know I can't danceyou 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 gamebut if it's all the same to you, then yes I will try my handif you were as hungry as me then I'm sure you would understandhmmmnow wait a minutelet me see nowof 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 floorah feels goodlook at me dancin'I did a two-step, quick-step and a bossa novaa little Victor Silvester, and a Rudy Valentinoyou should a seen me movin', right across the floorhand me down my tuxedo, next week I'm comin' back for more
I can dance -- oh yes! I can dancelook at me dancin' the floor movin'I feel good -- I can dance
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance.
