If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby

Now we got the flavour, the bad behaviour
The rhythm the melody, the juice for you to savour
Rocking and vibin’ somebody is jiving
You need to take a tip, sort it out, get a grip
Whenever I go out, wherever it may be
Never is there a keanu
but a dweeb looking at me
But then even if I did score
He’s a loser on the dance floor
Take a deep breath count one, two, three


Even when his eyes met mine
His slamming moves were out of time
Can’t you just feel the groove
Why don’t you move
It’s easy can’t you see
Take my hands and dance with me
¹

If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby

Hey macho, te vi el otro día
Me dio mucha, mucha alegría
Escucha la música, ay madre mía
Hey chico tú no tienes nada
Que susto, que seco, que polla, que tieso
Oh no me toques, ay que pero feo
Venga, venga, marcha, salida
Toma esa música me canta deprisa
Cuidado, cuidado, que chico, que loco
Toma mi ritmo y me voy contigo
Hey macho te quiero
Quiero un hombre pero no tu hombre
Hey macho, hey macho
Si no bailas esto no puedes nada conmigo


If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby

You can’t do nothing for me baby
Woah, oh, woah, oh, woah oh
Nothing baby
Woah, oh, woah, oh, woah, oh woah
The rhythm
You can’t do nothing for me baby

Even when his eyes met mine
His slamming moves were out of time
Can’t you just feel the grove
Why don’t you move
It’s easy can’t you see
Take my hand and dance with me


If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby
(You can’t do nothin’ for me baby)

If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby
(You can’t do nothing for me baby)
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance, if you can’t dance
If you can’t dance to this
You can’t do nothing for me baby
(You can’t do nothin’ for me baby)
