Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]One, two, three, four
When I used to dance

[Verse 2]
When I used to prance
[Dm]
Dig me now, baby, ha
Don't worry bout later, ha
Here's a dance I used to do

[Interlude 1]
They call the mash potato, oh
[Dm]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Lookie here
There was a dance
They call the jerk
Everybody relax

[Interlude 2]
And watch me work
[Dm]

[Verse 4]
All [Dm]right, lookie here

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
In my home town
Up here with the boys
The name of the place

[Verse 6]
Is Chicago, Illinois
[Dm]
Up there, we have a good time
We don't talk, ha
Instead we all get together
Any type of weather

[Interlude 3]
Then we do the camel walk, wow
[Dm]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]All right, lookie here

[Verse 8]
[Dm]
Now there was a dance
That I used to do now
The name of the dance
They call the boogaloo, ha

[Verse 9]
I may not [Dm]do the dance
As well as you, ha
But you can bet your bottom dollar
You'll never hear me holler

[Interlude 4]
I'll do the best that I can do, wow
[Dm]

[Verse 10]
[Dm]All right, lookie here

[Verse 11]
[Dm]
Sometimes I danced
Sometimes I danced
Baby, sometimes I danced

[Verse 12]
Baby, baby, baby, yeah
[Dm]
They call me the woman handler
They call me the woman handler
But you can bet you
Haven't seen nothing yet
Until you've seen me do

[Outro 1]
The Gene Chandler, wow
[Dm]
