I’m spinning but I’m not dizzy
To some Dizzy spun over a house beat
That means I’m dancing to Gillespie
On a dance floor on the Chesapeake
Speakers vibrating
Speaking that chest speak
Yes two left feet
they’re gonna get free
On the next break beat
I two-step with the best of them
Steps 3 and four? I don’t mess with them
My salsa would not impress a Mexican
But Jewish girls love it when I’m spinning them
If I said my style is spicy, I’m sinning
Since
Words I don’t mince
I’ll tell you I’m chained to the two step
Can I cut loose, feel good?
Hell yes!
You want to look good?
You can forget me.
You want to feel good?
Come get me.
On the dance floor
I’m wayne gretyzky
I’d probably look better on ice
But for a kid who grew up doing the macerena
I’m nice
I’ll slow dance with your grandma at the weeding
Electric slide with the boys at the bar mitzvah
Be a ballerina at the block party with your little sister
In the club with a wall flower as friends take pictures
I’m not sayin that when I’m doin what I’d doin that I’m doing it hot
I’m just sayin I do what I do
a lot
you may ask me what’s my purpose
to tour my two step like the circus
named the left one barnom
the right one bailey
im not claiming to be a paily alven aliey
but I can teach you my two two-steps like the number of deuce staley
the front one and the back
the left one and the right one
whether it’s day time with bright sun
or night time with lights on
I can give you a nice one
I’m a white guy with rhythm
You want moves?!?!?
Leave me a lone
I’ve got two
Back and forth
The human metronome
You might have met or known
someone who has to get drunk to get into the dancing zone
me? I dance to get drunk
hip hop, soul, funk
afro beat with the fem star
front seat of your friends car
grocery store isle where the eggs are
I’ll lose control
Wherever I are
Even if I only have control of where my legs are.
