 Hot sun Beating Burning wal- around
 down my feet king
 
 C C G G       F G G          
    Hot sun   beating down
 C C G G                    Bb       C     
    burning my feet just walking around.
 
 (Same thing:)
 
 Hot sun making me sweat
 'Gators getting close, hasn't got me yet
 
 Chorus: (same tune as verse)

 -------
 

 C C G G         F  G G      
 I can't dance, I can't talk.
 C C G G                        Bb    C    
 The only thing about me is the way I walk.
 
 I can't dance, I can't sing
 I'm just standing here selling everything.
 
 Verse 2:

 --------
 

 
 Blue jeans sitting on the beach,
 her dog's talking to me, but she's out of reach.
 
 She's got a body under that shirt,
 but all she wants to do is rub my face in the dirt.
 
 'Cause, I can't dance, I can't talk.
 The only thing about me is the way I walk.
 No, I can't dance, I can't sing
 I'm just standing here selling.

     Bb                        F     
 And checking everything is in place,
           C                     
 you never know who's looking on.
 
 Verse 3:

 --------
 

 
 Young punk spilling beer on my shoes,
 fat guy's talking to me trying to steal my blues.
 
 Thick smoke, see her smiling through.
 I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool.
 
 But I can't dance, I can't talk.
 The only thing about me is the way I walk.
 I can't dance, I can't sing
 I'm just standing here selling

 Play chorus lots of time with loads of scat vocals...while
 playing the "intro-riff"...
 
 and singing:
 
 "I won't dance, please don't ask me..."
