I got a man with two left feet And when he dances down to the beat I really think that he should know That his rhythms go go go I got a man with two left feet And when he dances down to the beat I really think that he should know That his rhythms go go go Does he wash up? He never wash up Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up Does he brush up? He never brushed up He does nothing The boy does nothing Does he wash up? He never wash up Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up Does he brush up? He never brushed up He does nothing The boy does nothing Hey boy How you been? I got a thousand lines Where do I begin? And I I been here, been there Traveling I saw you at the corner My vibe kicked in And Two fields I clock you Wearing tight jeans A real nice suit He was smiling like you Was just seventeen I asked him for a dance He said 'yes please' Take a sip of dancing juice Everybody's onto you Through the left and to the right Everybody hit the rhythm It's on tonight I'm gonna feel the heat within my soul I need a man to take control Let the melody blow you all away Does he wash up? He never wash up Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up Does he brush up? He never brushed up He does nothing The boy does nothing Does he wash up? He never wash up Does he clean up? No, he never cleans up Does he brush up? He never brushed up He does nothing The boy does nothing Work it out now Work it, Work it out now Do the mambo Shake it all around now Everybody on the floor Let me see you clap your hands I wanna see you work I wanna see you move your body in turn I wanna see you shake your hips and learn I wanna see you work it, work it, work it out now I wanna see you work I wanna see you move your body in turn I wanna see you shake your hips and learn I wanna see you work it, work it, work it out now And if the man can dance, he gets a second chance And if the man can dance, he gets a second chance And if the man can dance, he gets a second chance And if the man can dance, he gets a second chance And if the man can dance, he gets a second chance
