Lyrics Nellie McKay – Dig It

Text:

Oh I can’t dance!
Yes you can! Stop that
Oh I really can’t
Oh yes you can come on right left, right left

Just give it a try
Really you can teach me
Oh yeah
You got the legs for it
Cause it seems to me
Oh it seems to you
I said it seems to me
You said it seems to you
A such embarrassing situation calls for concentration
Do you dig me jack
We dig you jack
Can you think of a plan?
We solid can
Can you sing and dance?
I’ll take a chance
Are your boots on right?
I got ’em laced up tight
Is Miss Miller a killer?
From a Spanish villa
Is her dancing mellow?
Why, mellow as a cello
Then it seems to me
Obviously
You wanna go right into your Terpsichore

I never could do the conga
Could never get through the conga

But if you say do the conga
I ain’t hep to that step
But I’ll dig it

I never could see mazurkas
They’re poison to me, mazurkas
But if it’s to be mazurkas
I ain’t hep to that step
But I’ll dig it

When they invented the Charleston
I was a total flop
Right
But say if you want to Charleston
I’ll never stop
I’ll dance till I drop

I never could dig the polka
The corniest jig, the polka
But if you say dig the polka
I ain’t hep to that step
But I’ll dig it

Alright
Oh there you go, there you go down
You can dance sugar
That’s not so hard
What was that dance called

I never could do the conga
Could never get through the conga
But if you say do the conga
I ain’t hep to that step
But I’ll dig it

I never could see mazurkas
They’re poison to me, mazurkas
But if it’s to be mazurkas
I ain’t hep to that step
But I’ll dig it

When they invented the Charleston
I was a total flop
But say if you want to Charleston
She’ll never stop
She’ll dance till I drop

I never could dig the polka
The corniest jig, the polka
But if you say dig the polka
I ain’t hep to that step
She ain’t hep to that step
I ain’t hep to that step
She ain’t hep to that step
She ain’t hep to that step…
