Well I'm a song and dance man come on gather round me and clap your hands

Bring your tips boys and put 'em in the ol' tin can

Buy me a drink boys and I'll do a little bit of the old soft shoe

Put a little somethin' in the kitty and I'll sing and dance for you



I'll play a number and you can do the buck and wing

Or sing any sad song that you wanna hear me sing

Just name your pleasure then dig down in your jeans

My body needs a beverage and my guitar needs some strings

Cause I'm a song and dance man...



Well I caught pneumonia from walkin' in a pourin' rain

But I found heaven in a little room in New Orleans loved me till I got strong

Then I caught me a freight right out of her heart and I wrote about it in a song

Cause I'm a song and dance man...

I'm a song and dance man...
