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