How To Keep Time To Music Lyrics & Chords By The Wallets

A few weeks ago, I was at this party
And everyone was dancing and having a great time
I was sitting alone in a corner
Watching this girl

Man, could she move!
She was so cool, and so smooth
Watching her move made me wanna dance
How did she do it?

Well, I must have been concentrating pretty hard
Because she saw me staring and started making her way over
She put her hand on mine and said "Let's dance."

Before I could say anything, she jerked me to my feet

"All you gotta do is learn to keep time to the music,
And let your body follow the beat.

Try these simple steps:

No. 1: Dance as though your body were floating through air
No. 2: Keep your head high, your chest out, your chin in, and your neckbone loose
No. 3: Remember that rising too high on your toes will make you look and feel tense
No. 4: Always be ready for the next move, and keep your feet out of your partner's way
No. 5: Above all things, BE NATURAL!

Here we go:

Start with your right foot, and step directly forward.
Step forward with your left to match the right.
One, two - uh!
Now to the side with the left, and back with the left
And the same thing in reverse.
It's not that hard!
Don't tense up;
Let your backbone slip to the Wallets beat!

Now place your hands on your partner's hips,
And pull her body up next to yours.
And continue with that forward-matching rhythm.

And don't forget that feelin'
Keep yourself reelin'
'Cause I came here to spin and groove,
Not just to move my lips!

Don't forget that feelin'
Keep yourself reelin'
Come on and spin out once,
It's easy, give it a try.
Okay, horns - spin!"
