[Verse 1] Hot sun beating down Burning my feet just walking around Hot sun making me sweat Gator's getting close, hasn't got me yet [Chorus] I can't dance, I can't talk Only thing about me is the way I walk I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling everything [Verse 2] Blue jeans sitting on the beach Her dog's talking to me but she's out of reach Shes got a body under that shirt But all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt [Chorus] 'Cause I can't dance, I can't talk Only thing about me is the way I walk I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling [Post-Chorus] Oh and checking everything is in place You never know who's looking on [Verse 3] Young punk spilling beer on my shoes Fat guys talking to me trying to steal my blues Thick smoke, see her smiling through I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool [Chorus] But I can't dance, I can't talk The only thing about me is the way that I walk I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling [Post-Chorus] Oh and checking everything is in place You never know who's looking on A perfect body with a perfect face — uh-huh [Chorus] No, I can't dance, I can't talk The only thing about me is the way I walk No, I can't dance, I can't sing I'm just standing here selling everything [Outro] But I can walk No I can't dance No no no I can't dance No I said I can't sing But I can walk
