When i hear a band blowin' basie (wap wow)
i can count on lossing my cool (shodubedo bap shodubedo bow!)
take me where the rhythm is racey
let me be a dancin' fool
some prefer the cafe Europa (Europa!)
sipping dubonnay on a stool (very cool)
me i get my kicks at the copa (Copa)
that's where i'm a dancin' fool
ill show you some moves smooth as satin
and others they dont teach in school (Now you're talkin')
when the crooner starts into scatin' (dobey dobey dopey do)
just give me a chance and my tuxedo pants and
presto!

When those trumpets blare man
I ain't got a care man
I'm like Fred Astaire Man - cool
Just give me a chance and -
My tuxedo pants and -
Hey presto!
I'm a dancing fool
I'm a dancing fool yeah!
