Dapper Dan Lyrics by Michael Jackson

Hello World: The Motown Solo Collection

1975

[Intro]
Do it, do it, he can do it, watch him do it
I got rhythm and a whole lot of soul
(He can dance) I can shake it, baby (He can dance)

[Verse 1]
I'm just a little country boy
Harmonica in my hand
I got soulful rhythm in me
I'ma get down, dancing man

[Chorus]
Shalalala, boom, boom
My name is Dapper Dan, ah
Shalalala, boom, boom
I'm a dancing man, ah

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna be king of the discotheque
That's where I can be found, ha
Master of the rhythm beat, oh
I've got the fastest feet around

[Chorus]
Shalalala, boom, boom (Shalalala, mmm)
My name is Dapper Dan
(Shalalala, mmm)
Shalalala, boom, boom (Shalalala, mmm)
I'm a dancing man, yeah (Shalalala, ooh)

[Hook]
(Do it, do it) Hey (Let's do it, do it)
Get up on the floor
(Do it, do it) Dance what you wanna (Let's do it, do it)
Let's dance, dance with me (With the dancing man)

[Bridge]
I like the way he shakes it
I like the way he shakes it
I like the way he moves it
Ooh, he sexy

[Hook]
(Do it, do it) Do it, do it, I can do it, watch me do it, I can dance, dance, dance (Dance)
(Do it, do it) Do it, do it, I can do it, let me show you I'm a dancing man (Dance)

[Verse 3]
I got rhythm and a whole lot of soul
I can dance, ah (Dance)
I got music and I know how to use it
I can sing, ah (Dance)

[Hook]
(Do it, do it) Do it, do it, I can do it, do it, do it, watch me do it
(Do it, do it) Do it, do it, I can do it, watch me do it, I can dance, dance, dance

[Harmonica Solo]

[Bridge]
I like the way he shakes it
I like the way he shakes it
I like the way he moves it
Ooh, he sexy

[Outro]
(Do it, do it) Do it, do it, I can do it, watch me do it, I can dance dance dance (Dance)
(Do it, do it) Do it, do it, I can do it, let me show you I'm a dancing man (Dance)
(He's the dancing man, he's a singing man) (Dance)
(Do it, do it) Do it, do it, I can do it, do it, do it (Let's do it, do it)
Watch me do it, do it, do it, I can do it, watch me do it, I can dance dance dance (Dance)
(Do it, do it) Do it, do it, I can do it, let me show you I'm a dancing man (Dance)
(He's the dancing man, he's a singing man) (Dance)
