Don't sit at home and miss all the fun.
Order now [Am] to learn all the latest country dances.

My woman told me last Friday night her birthday's coming and things ain't right.
We've been together since before the war and I never had her out on a dance hall tour.
I [Ab] didn't know what to say.
I never learned to dance, only learned to [Am] play and to watch other people do their thing.
My job was to pick and sing.
Well, I walked around the house.
I watched late TV and [G] slept on the [Am] couch.
I flipped through the dial and after a while a commercial came on and made me smile.
It said, learn to dance.
Learn the moves.
Call 1-900.
[C] You just can't lose.
[Am] Well, it didn't take me long.
I jumped right up and I ran to [G] the phone.
[Am] The operator asked, [G] can I help [Am] you, sir?
And this is what I said to her.
[E] Help, I'm wide [D] and I can't get down.
Got two left feet planted on [A] the ground.
I need some help if I [E] do the time.

[Em] [Am] I took the course and I learned [G] quick.
[Em] Just one week, it did the trick.
So when [Bm] that magic evening came, [Em] I knew I wouldn't be [Am] ashamed.
The floor was crowded, but something [G] was wrong.
[Am] I didn't [G] recognize the song.
[Am] These cowboys ain't on my [G] video tape.
[Am] I wonder if there's been some mistake.
I tried some moves.
I spun [Em] around, knocked a whole lot of dancers [Am] down.
I kept my cool.
Had to be voked till they kicked my head.
Doing a cotton-eyed joke.
I laid there a while and held [G] my [Am] face.
My woman went screaming [C] from the [Am] place.
I crawled out [G] the back [Am] door.
I didn't want no more.
I've had enough.
I'm [G] going home [Am] and make one more call on the telephone.
And when they answer on [G] the other [Am] end,
this is what I'll say again.
Help, help, [E] help, I'm wired and [D] I can't get down.
