Do it do it, he can do it, watch him do it
I got rhythm and a whole lot of soul
I can dance I can shake it baby (He can dance)
I'm just a little country boy
Harmonica in my hand I got soulful rhythm in me
I'm a get down dancin man
Shalalala boom boom
My name is Dapper Dan
Shalalala boom boom
I'm a dancin' man yeah
I'm gonna be king of the Disco tech
That's where I can be found
Master of the rhythm beat ohh
I've got the fastest feet around
Shalalala boom boom
My name is Dapper Dan
Shalalala boom boom
I'm a dancin man yeah
Do it do it Let's do it do it
Get up on the floor
Let's do it do it Dance what you wanta
Let's dance dance with me
I like the way you shake it (twice)
I like the way you move it
Oo you sexy
