Lyrics

Yes you're really gorgeous,
Very nearly flawless,
But why didn't your ma' teach you to dance.
Yes you're really gorgeous,
Your arse should win awards, yeah.
Why didn't your ma' teach you to dance (Yo).

Jennifer, skin was like cinnamon,
Took her for dinner and then to the cinema,
One week, still hadn't been with her,
Took her out clubbin', that's when I knew,
Soon as she wiggled it all seemed familiar,
Kerry and Lydia did somethin similar
I've heard a rule, a line you should tread,
If she can't dance she's rubbish in bed!

Slow down pretty,
Girl can you dance?
You might be witty,
Now Girl can you dance?
I'm glad your with me
Now Girl can you dance?
It's such a pity,
Girl you can't dance.

Yes you really gorgeous,
Very nearly flawless,
But why didn't your ma' teach you to dance.
Yes you're really gorgeous,
Your arse should win awards, yeah.
Why didn't your ma' teach you to dance (Ah ha).

You might have the chat and the batty to match,
I'm looking good when you're sat in my lap,
Your body is banging I'm happy with that,
But you ain't got rhythm and that is a fact,
Spillin' your drink, steppin' on toes,
A pussy cat doll you're not, NO!
Nobodys perfect, now look at my lips
but you need some lessons in shaking your hips

Slow down pretty,
Girl can you dance?
You might be witty,
Now Girl can you dance?
I'm glad your with me
Now Girl can you dance?
It's such a pity,
Girl you can't dance.

Watch your glass,
Watch your feet,
Pay some attention to what's in the beat,
Watch your feet,
Watch your glass,
Watch the way you shake that, shake that, shake that, shake that, shake...

You walk the walk and talk the talk,
Know how to use a knife and fork,
You smell just like a girl should smell,
Mademoiselle, by Channel,
Tick all the boxes except for one,
It's pretty important 'cos this is a lot,
The dancing box, thats where its at
Coz if you got rhythym your good in the Sack

Slow down pretty,
Girl can you dance?
You might be witty,
Now Girl can you dance?
I'm glad your with me
Now Girl can you dance?
It's such a pity,
Girl you can't dance.

Slow down pretty,
Girl can you dance?
You might be witty,
Now Girl can you dance?
I'm glad your with me
Now Girl can you dance?
It's such a pity,
Girl you can't dance.
