Fancy Footwork Songtext
von The J. Geils Band

Hey everybody, it′s dance time!

Ain't gonna hang up
My rock and roll shoes
I ain′t got them ol'
Tired blood blues
And when I hear the backbeat
It don't take me long
I start movin′ an′ groovin'
And dancin′ to the song

Fancy footwork
Is got to do the do
Fancy footwork
Is bound to get me through
Fancy footwork
Is gonna be all right
Fancy footwork
And I'm dancin′ through the night


'Bout that time
We let it all hang out
That′s what rock and roll is all about
Get yourself feelin'
Mmm, nice and loose
Move your legs and give it all your juice

Fancy footwork
Is got to do the do, aw yeah
Fancy footwork
Is bound to get me through
Fancy footwork
Is gonna be all right
Fancy footwork
And we're dancin′ through the night

Watch me dance, dance
Do it all night long
Dance, dance
Wow, you can′t go wrong
Dance, dance, dance
Feelin' so fine
Dance, dance
Dancin′ all the time
Let me see ya dance!


Take your baby
Take her on out tonight
Some old hot spot
Where the lights ain't so bright
If you want that baby
Stay in love with you
That old fancy footwork
Has got to get you through

Fancy footwork
Is got to do the do
Fancy footwork
Is bound to get me through
Fancy footwork
Is gonna be all right
Fancy footwork and
We′re dancin' through the night

Watch it!
Dance, dance
Do it all night long
Dance, dance
Wow, can′t go wrong
Dance, dance, dance
Slidin' right across the floor
Dance, dance
I wanta shake it some more, yeah!

Everybody, everybody get on the floor
Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself, darling
Shake it, come on baby, shake it ′round
Come on, daddy!

Yeah, that′s soundin' good
Everybody, kick off your shoes
Come on, baby
I know you ain′t tired
Come on Jerome, play your guitar!
