Dig It - Nellie McKay

Oh, I can’t dance

Yes you can, stop that

Oh, I really can’t

Oh yes, you can

Come on, right left, right left

Just give it a try

Really you can teach me

Oh yeah, you got the legs for it

'Cause it seems to me

Oh, it seems to you

I said it seems to me

You said it seems to you

A such embarrassing situation

Calls for concentration

Do you dig me, Jack?

We dig you, Jack

Can you think of a plan?

We solid can

Can you sing and dance?

I’ll take a chance

Are your boots on right?

I got 'em laced up tight

Is Miss Miller a killer

From a Spanish villa?

Is her dancing mellow?

Why, mellow as a cello

Then it seems to me obviously

You wanna go right into your Terpsichore

I never could do the conga

Could never get through the conga

But if you say do the conga

I ain’t hep to that step

But I’ll dig it

I never could see mazurkas

They’re poison to me, mazurkas

But if it’s to be mazurkas

I ain’t hep to that step

But I’ll dig it

When they invented the Charleston

I was a total flop, right

But say if you want to Charleston

I’ll never stop

I’ll dance till I drop

I never could dig the polka

The corniest jig, the polka

But if you say dig the polka

I ain’t hep to that step

But I’ll dig it

Alright

Oh there you go, there you go down

You can dance sugar

That’s not so hard

What was that dance called?

I never could do the conga

Could never get through the conga

But if you say do the conga

I ain’t hep to that step

But I’ll dig it

I never could see mazurkas

They’re poison to me, mazurkas

But if it’s to be mazurkas

I ain’t hep to that step

But I’ll dig it

When they invented the Charleston

I was a total flop

But say if you want to Charleston

She’ll never stop

She’ll dance till I drop

I never could dig the polka

The corniest jig, the polka

But if you say dig the polka

I ain’t hep to that step

She ain’t hep to that step

I ain’t hep to that step

She ain’t hep to that step

She ain’t hep to that step
