VERSE 01: I’ve got a bundle of real good news for any gal who craves a sheik | |
/A certain fellow who cures the blues just arrived in town this week./He was the undefeated stepper of a Mobile dancing school | |
/A good hot band is all he needs and he’s a dog gone struttin’ fool./They call himVERSE 02: This lovin’ Daddy I’m speaking of is just a roaming Romeo | |
/He’s got a gal in most ev’ry town, from Mobile to Kokomo,/You know, he’s just the type of fellow doesn’t mean much to the men,/But any place where ladies are he’s always welcome back again/They call himCHORUS 01: Dancin’ Dan,/He’s just a natural born ladies’ man | |
/There isn’t any gal that he can’t land/When he makes up his mind./When he gets on a dancing floor/They gather ‘round him by the score./While he’s steppin’ around,/He’s so hot, it’s a fact,/That you could light a cigar right from off of his back./Just one dance and not another stepper has a chance | |
/And can that baby love?/I’ll say he can!/He’s got lots of Mamas, both blond and brunette,/For he’s one of those men women never forget./That ballroom tappin’, gal kidnappin’ man called Dancin’ Dan.CHORUS 02: Dancin’ Dan,/He’s just a natural born ladies’ man | |
/There isn’t any gal that he can’t land/When he makes up his mind./When he gets on a dancing floor/They gather ‘round him by the score./There’s a “Ham” on his back/And he’s awfully thin,/But he’s a mighty good man for the shape that he’s in./Just one dance and not another stepper has a chance | |
/And can that baby love?/I’ll say he can!/He’s not much on looks, and he’s awfully dumb,/But he sure has more women than Wrigley has gum./That gal decoyin’, home destroyin’ man called Dancin’ Dan.CHORUS 03: Dancin’ Dan,/He’s just a natural born ladies’ man | |
/There isn’t any gal that he can’t land/When he makes up his mind./When he gets on a dancing floor/They gather ‘round him by the score./Lots of fellows get gals/’Cause they’re handsome and neat,/But what they do with their looks he can do with his feet./Just one dance and not another stepper has a chance | |
/And can that baby love?/I’ll say he can!/He shows all the ladies the time of their lives | |
/He collects alimony from twenty one wives. | |
