Oh your sister can’t twist but she can rock and roll  
Out bucks the broncos in the rodeo-do  
She’s only sixteen but it’s plain to see  
She can pull the wool over little old me  
Your sister can’t twist but she can rock and roll  
Your sister can’t twist but she got more soul than me

Your mama don’t dance  
And your daddy don’t rock and roll  
Your mama don’t dance  
And your daddy don’t rock and roll  
When evening rolls around  
And it’s time to go to town  
Where do you go  
To rock and roll?

Young punk spillin’ beer on my shoes  
Fat guy’s talkin’ to me tryin’ to steal my blues  
Thick smoke, see her smiling through  
I never thought so much could happen just shootin’ pool

But I can’t dance  
I can’t talk  
The only thing about me is the way that I walk  
I can’t dance  
I can’t sing  
I’m just standing here sellin’

You broke my heart  
'Cause I couldn’t dance  
You didn’t even want me around  
And now I’m back  
To let you know  
I can really shake 'em down

Do you love me?  
(I can really move)  
Do you love me?  
(I’m in the groove)  
Now do you love me?  
(Do you love me)  
Now that I can dance  
(Dance)
