Dancing in The Street — текст песни (John Hiatt)

Out in the street

Theyre tryin to arrest my friend

They put him on ice now twice

But hes back again



Well he did that dance in harlem

All across the usa

From the [tapanzee? ]

To the golden gate

He was an animal all the way



But now theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street

Now theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street



Martha and the vandellas

Told you how to do as you please

Now all of you idiots

Are dancin with the bee gees



When they introduce their latest record

Youre as thrilled as a rat in a maze

[you gotta do your stuff? ]

Now youre sexless and dull

What ever happened to the latest craze?



Now that theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street

Now theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street



And its 1, 2, 3, 4

Dont imagine any more

And its 5, 6, 7, 8

Have another empty plate



Aww, just when things were gettin funny [fun? ]

You had to reconsider all of the rules

Now consumer affairs

Has got you dancin in pairs

Dressed up like a bunch of fools



Now that theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street

Now theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street



Now theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street



Now theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street



Now theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street



Now theres no more dancin

No more dancin in the street
