Show Me How to Dance Songtext
von Archie Bell & the Drells

(Show me, show me, show me how)

Won′t somebody (somebody)
Show me how to dance? (Somebody)
I wanna dance like I got ants in my pants
Woah, I wanna learn
My poor heart yearns

Won't somebody (somebody)
Show me how to get down? (Somebody)
I can do it girl, if you show me how
It hurts to see everybody doin′ it but me

Saturday night when I go out to watch the people dance
Look like they're havin' so much fun
But I′m sittin′ around like I'm part of the scenery
Oh, I get so uptight
Because my steps don′t turn out right

Come on baby, show me how to dance
I can do it girl, if you give me a chance
Woah, I wanna learn
My poor heart yearns


Won't somebody (somebody)
Show me how to dance? (Somebody)
Maybe if I dance, I, I can find romance
Oh, I′m so sad
I wanna boogie so bad

I wanna get a chance to hold your body close to mine
I wanna feel some of them good, good vibrations
Let's do the freaky-deaky, the woogie-woogie-boogie
And all that kinda stuff
Let′s keep on dancin' more and more
Till we just can't get enough

Come on baby, show me how to dance
I wanna dance like I got ants in my pants
Woah, I wanna learn
My poor heart yearns

Won′t somebody (somebody)
Show me how to get down? (Somebody)
I can do it girl, if you show me how
Well, it hurts to see everybody doin′ it but me, me

Show me, show me, show me how (show me)
Show me, show me, show me how (show me)
Show me, show me, show me how (show me)


I wanna boogie (shoo-do-do, do-do)
I wanna boogie (shoo-do, do-do)
I wanna boogie-boogie, boogie-boogie, boogie-boogie
Boogie on down (get on down)
I wanna freaky (shoo-do-do, do-do)
A-freaky-deaky (shoo-do, do-do)
I wanna freaky-freaky-freaky, deaky-deaky-deaky
Deaky on down (get on down) oh yeah

(Get on down) show me how (just show me how)
Girl show me how (just show me how)
Show me how (just show me how)
Said, I'm tired of sittin′ in the corner all by myself (shoo-do, do-do)
Oh, I wanna get up and boogie with everybody else (shoo-do, do-do)

Well, show me how (just show me how)
Girl show me how (just show me how)
I wanna boogie, I wanna woogie
I wanna boogie-boogie, boogie-boogie, boogie-boogie
Boogie on down
I wanna freaky, a-freaky-deaky
I wanna freaky-freaky-freaky, freaky-deaky-deaky
