"Song and Dance Man"

i was in between jobs, short on corn for the cobs
as they say down where the boys are shuckin’
with a bird in the hand, i took a job with a band
just another dimestore dance to try my luck in

well, i got the right town, there was always somethin’ goin’ down
between the hootenannys and the hoosegow
took a cold water flat, brushed off my Bailey brim hat
and started tryin’ to make my rent the only way i knew how

won’t you take a chance, man, on the song and dance man? 2X

I kick off my big boot heels, with a soft shoe feel
i put ‘em in a trance man, i am a song and dance man

i could fingerpick the blues, blow a little cross-harp, too
i could walk the bass, and keep time with my drummin’
singin’ weren’t my first choice, on account of my voice
but words and melodies, i kept ‘em comin’

won’t you take a chance, man, on the song and dance man? 2X

I kick off my big boot heels, with a soft shoe feel
i put ‘em in a trance man, i am a song and dance man

i ain’t one to follow rules, and i ain’t one to suffer fools
i ain’t one to find a line to take a place in
so i’ll be gone ‘fore the dawn, because i must be movin’ on
there’s a lost chord down the road i am still chasin’

I was in between jobs, short on corn for the cobs
as they say down where the boys are shuckin’
with a bird in the hand, i took a job with a band
just another dimestore dance to try my luck in

won’t you take a chance, man, on the song and dance man? 2X

I kick off my big boot heels, with a soft shoe feel
i put ‘em in a trance man, i am a song and dance man
