Lyrics:
(Do it, do it, he can do it, watch him do it)
I got rhythm and a whole lotta soul
I can dance, I can shake it, baby (He can dance)
I'm just a little country boy
Harmonica in my hand
I got soulful rhythm in me
I'm a get-down dancin' man
*
Sha-la-la-la, boom-boom
My name is Dapper Dan now
Sha-la-la-la, boom-boom
I'm a dancin' man now
I'm gonna be king of the discotheque
That's where I can be found, ha-ha!
Master of the rhythm beat, y'all
I've got the fastest feet around
(* Repeat with ad lib)
(Do it, do it, let's do it, do it)
Hey, get up on the floor
(Do it, do it) Dance what you wanna
(Let's do it, do it)
Let's dance, dance with me
I like the way he shakes it
**
I like the way he shakes it
I like the way he moves it
Oooh, he's sexy
(Do it, do it) I can do it, watch me do it
I can dance, dance, dance (Dance)
(Do it, do it) I can do it, let me show you
I'm a dancin' man (Dance)
I got the rhythm and a whole lotta soul
I can dance, ahhh (Dance)
I got music and I know how to use it
I can sing, ahhh, hmmm... (Dance)
I got music and I know how to use it
I can sing, ahhh, hmmm... (Dance)
(Do it, do it) I can do it, do it, do it
(Let's do it) Do it, do it, I can do it, watch me do it
(Let's do it) I can dance, dance, dance
(** Repeat with ad lib and fade)
I got rhythm and a whole lotta soul
I can dance, I can shake it, baby (He can dance)
I'm just a little country boy
Harmonica in my hand
I got soulful rhythm in me
I'm a get-down dancin' man

Sha-la-la-la, boom-boom
My name is Dapper Dan now
Sha-la-la-la, boom-boom
I'm a dancin' man now
I'm gonna be king of the discotheque
That's where I can be found, ha-ha!

(Do it, do it, let's do it, do it)
Hey, get up on the floor
