My woman told me last Friday night, her birthday's coming and things ain't right.
We've been together since before the war and I never [A] had her out to dance on the floor.
I didn't know what to say.
I never learned to dance, only learned to [Am] play and to watch other [E] people do their thing.
My job was to pick and say.
[Am] Well I moped around the house.
I watched late TV and slept on the couch.
I flipped through the dial and after a while a commercial came on and it made me smile.
It said, learn to dance.
Learn to move.
Call 1-900 and you just can't lose.
Well it didn't take me long.
I jumped out of bed and I run to the phone.
The operator said, can I help you sir?
And this is what I said to her.
Help, I'm blind and I [D] can't get down.
I got two left feet planted [A] on the ground.
I need some help just to [E] do the time.
Help, I'm blind and [A] I can't get down.
[D]
[A]
[E]
[A]
[Am] Well I took the course and I learned quick.
Just one [E] week it did the [A] trick.
So when that magic [Am] even came, I knew I wouldn't be ashamed.
I was crowded but something was wrong.
I didn't recognize the song.
These cowboys ain't on my videotape.
I wonder if there's been some mistake.
I made some moves, spun around, knocked a whole line of dancers down.
And my crew had to be vote till they kicked my head doing a cock and eye joke.
I laid there a while and held my face.
My woman was screaming [G] from the [Am] place.
I crawled out the back door.
I didn't want no more.
I've had enough.
I'm going home and make one more [E] call on the telephone.
[Am] And when they answer on the other end, this is what I'll say again.
[E]
Help, I'm blind [D] and I can't get down.
I got two left feet [A] planted on the ground.
I need some help just to [E] do the time.
Help, I'm blind and I can't [A] get down.
Now let's stand and sing.
Help, I'm blind and I [D] can't get down.
